John Lutz is fascinated by the nighttime dangers that await women alone. In THE NIGHT SPIDER, he improvises a new variation on this theme with a thriller about a serial killer who preys upon women living in high-rises. With few visible means of entry, the mysterious stalker kills women while they sleep in their beds behind securely locked doors. Like his namesake, he leaves his victims wrapped in their bed sheets and stabbed repeatedly, having them slowly bleed to death with their mouths frozen in a silent scream. The few clues left on the scene point to a wall-crawling, glass-cutting predator who easily eludes the best minds on the police force. Now a determined detective must stop him–before time runs out for his next victim.
"Like Eric Clapton reinventing a familiar blues tune, Lutz, an award-winning master craftsman, takes a tired thriller formula and gives it fresh sizzle." (Booklist)

      Meet a serial killer with a twist. The press dubs him "The Night Spider." He stalks his prey, drops down from the top of her high rise, enters her apartment as she sleeps, wraps her in her bed sheets, and then, repeatedly, excruciatingly, stabs her. Even with a few too many convolutions and coincidences, John Lutz spins a great yarn. Scott Brick's performance provides Thom Horn, retired homicide detective, and NYPD's Roy Bickerstaff with subtly shaded inner lives. As Detective Paula Ramboquette, Brick's Cajun accent misses most of the melodic sound of Louisiana. However, Brick is always an exceptional reader of female characters, and his Ramboquette evolves into an intelligent, humane person, as well as a strong partner to the others. Exciting listening--preferably somewhere away from tall buildings. S.J.H. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine
