About this ebook
The second novel in the smash hit Robert Hunter series!
Inside a Los Angeles church, on the altar steps, lies the blood-soaked body of a priest. Later, the forensic team discover that, on the victim's chest, the figure 3 has been scrawled in blood.
At first, Detective Robert Hunter believes that this is a ritualistic killing. But as more bodies surface, he is forced to reassess. All the victims died in the way they feared the most. Their worst nightmares have literally come true. But how could the killer have known? And what links these apparently random victims?
Hunter finds himself on the trail of an elusive and sadistic killer, someone who apparently has the power to read his victims' minds. Someone who can sense what scares his victims the most. Someone who will stop at nothing to achieve his twisted aim.
Readers can't get enough of The Executioner . . . (5 star reviews *****)
'Wow! I don't quite know what goes on in Chris Carters head but boy does he have an imagination!! This book sucks you in from the very first page and does not let go until you're finished.'
'This second book by Chris Carter didn’t disappoint. Bodies keep piling up around Hunter and Carlos—more gruesome, more intense and bloodier than the first.'
'One of the best thrillers I've ever read. Revenge by a serial killer. If you like Tess Gerritsen's stuff or The Snowman by Jo Nesbo this book should be for you.'
'Okay....It's official. Chris Carter is my new favorite author!!! Since finishing this book I will definitely be reading the rest of the series.'
'Disturbing. Disturbingly awesome! Wow, this book was just fantastic.'

3 days. 3 days it took me to finish this. I struggle to concentrate for longer than 5 minutes on anything. Chris Carter has ignited a passion for reading which I never knew I had. The Hunter series is unbelievably addictive. I could write endless sentences about how good this series is but that would waste time I could be using to read the next Hunter book. It should be made into a TV series

If your into crime and are not squimish then his books are a must read. This is another amazing storyline that won't let you put it down until you have read it from cover to cover
