For the first time in nearly thirty years, FBI consultant Jake Cole returns to his childhood home in Long Island to look after his estranged and elderly father. But soon, Jake finds himself investigating a murder at the request of local sheriff Mike Hauser. A mother and her young son have been tortured and killed. For Jake this case becomes personal - he recognises the killer's signature as the one left on his own mother, brutally murdered over thirty years ago. Jake was just a child and her murder was never solved. Racing against time, Jake and Hauser are on the hunt to find this monster - a serial killer who skins his victims alive. Could the Bloodman of Jake's nightmares be back?

Anaphora overload, bad jokes (“Dylan had gone electric,” in reference to a violent hurricane), and all sorts of primetime crime-solving cliches. There's an interesting contrast and connection between the murder investigation and the main character's return home to his estranged and hospitalized father, but the procedural stuff is just too schlocky to coincide with the more introspective aspects of the novel.
