"Thirty years ago, police chief Edward Shank hunted down and killed the most notorious serial killer in Seattle's history: the Beacon Hill Butcher. Now, eighty years old and retired, Edward is giving up his Victorian home to his grandson Matt, an aspiring chef. While Matt is renovating it, he stumbles upon a gruesome cache. Matt must decide whether he should ignore the sinister secret, go to the police, or take matters into his own hands. And his family's past is feeding disturbing changes in himself as well ... Sam, his girlfriend, believes that her mother may have been killed by the Beacon Hill Butcher - even though the murder took place two years after Edward Shank gunned down the killer. But Sam's search is bringing her too close to the truth ... and right into the path of Matt's terrible secret"--Back cover.

Serial killing...it runs in the blood.
This review is hard to write as everything I start to say gives away part of the plot.
What I can say is that this is one of those books that I didn't want to put down. You've got a douchey annoying protagonist with a temper and a generally bad personality. You've got Matt's hunky best friend to add romantic interest with Matt's girlfriend Sam. Then you have one of the creepiest characters I've met in a long time and that would be Edward Shank, Matt's grandfather. It's a great read that you will be sorry to see finish.

DID NOT FINISH — I will not rate a book that I shelf as “did not finish.” I don't believe it's fair to put a rating on books I didn't read from beginning to end.
