The Fourth Monkey

Summary

Se7en meets The Silence of the Lambs in this dark and twisting novel from the author Jeffery Deaver called “a talented writer with a delightfully devious mind.”

For over five years, the Four Monkey Killer has terrorized the residents of Chicago. A bus-pedestrian accident brings an unexpected break in the case, as the dead man was on his way to deliver a gift-wrapped message in a signature white box. What’s inside is proof that the elusive serial killer has taken one last victim before his untimely demise.

As the lead investigator on the 4MK task force, Detective Sam Porter knows that even in death, the killer is far from finished. When he discovers a personal diary in the jacket pocket of the dead pedestrian, Porter finds himself caught up in the mind of a psychopath, unraveling a twisted history in hopes of finding one last girl, all while struggling with personal demons of his own.

With only a handful of clues, the killer’s identity remains a mystery. Time is running out and the Four Monkey Killer taunts from beyond the grave in this masterfully written, fast-paced thriller.
