Detective Joe Tanner is investigating five cold-case
murders of young women that occurred in the Los Angeles
area several years back. When he uncovers a hidden clue at
the last crime scene that connects all the cases, he knows
there's a serial killer out there who could strike again.
Approaching a local reporter, Tanner hopes to flush out the
killer by publishing what he's discerned about the brutal
murders. It doesn't take long for the killer, who's been
trying to control his inner demons since that last murder
in 2007, to contact the reporter. And thus starts the
intricate cat-and-mouse game between Tanner and the
malevolent man who's dubbed himself the Dark Wind Killer.
Because of what she experienced in her troubled past,
respected psychologist Claire Bowen now works to help
battered and abused women put their lives back together.
Her second husband, Robert, is a pilot. Claire feels their
marriage would be perfect, if only they could have a child.
But lately Robert has been unusually moody after being
hailed a local hero for an unselfish act of courage. Claire
finds his attitude unnerving and out of character, and when
she can't get him to talk to her about it, so she agrees to
let a private detective friend look into his background.
Who is Robert Bowen, and what is he hiding from his wife?
The revelations are nothing short of devastating, not only
for Claire, but for everyone else Robert knows.
Rick Mofina has another sure-fire winner in INTO THE
DARK, a psychological thriller I could not put down. Even
though readers know early on who the evil culprit is,
reading his point-of-view and the plot's progression as his
identity is finally uncovered is what keeps the pages
turning at a rapid pace. This is the third book written by
Mofina that I've reviewed, and I will definitely be reading
more.
