About This Book

In the uncertain shadows of lamplight and spectral shapes a monster lays claim to victims in the San Francisco Bay Area. He is a meticulous killer so vain in his crime that he chronicles the deeds in letters to the local newspaper. He has even anointed himself as "The Connoisseur." Stymied by every blind-alley lead and baffled by The Connoisseur defying behavioral profiles, the police turn to the almost legendary Detective Andy Sutton.

The only survivor from a long-ago rash of child abductions and killings, Sutton has dedicated his life to the pursuit and capture of notorious serial killers. But he quickly realizes this time out will be different--this particular serial killer is more likely to be the hunter than the hunted.

From the San Francisco Bay Area to Silicon Valley, this is an intense dichotomy of the morality that spawns both good and evil. By the time The Connoisseur is taunting Detective Sutton in the newspapers, Prayers By Night will have you re-checking deadbolts and wondering who is stalking whom.
