Publisher Description
Gavin Pierce, a homicide detective with the Nassau County Police Department on Long Island, is in hot pursuit of a serial killer. As Pierce's hunt for the unconventional maniac progresses, there is no shortage of clues, evidence...or victims. All of which point to a predator whose expertise is matched only by an unnerving ability to escape capture. With this exciting and spiritual thriller in the vein of Frank Peretti, W.G. Griffiths offers up a chilling tale of one man's desperate fight against an evil that is darker and more violent than any he has encountered before. And when the final curtain is at last raised on this paranormal drama -- the hunter finds himself the hunted.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Highly original touches and an impressive flair for atmosphere make this spooky supernatural thriller one that nudges readers to examine spiritual matters while delivering an outstanding level of suspense. Lobster fisherman Karl Dengler is inhabited by the demon Krogan, and partners with other demon-possessed people to commit horrific acts of violence. When Krogan destroys the New York Aquarium's tanks of whales and dolphins, Det. Gavin Pierce's grandfather is one of the spectators killed. In his quest for vengeance, Gavin joins forces with Amy Kirsch, a sassy, drop-dead gorgeous computer hacker who has a homespun "fortune cookie" saying for almost every occasion. Recovering alcoholic Karianne Stordal suffers from her own demon and is commandeered by Krogan to help him commit vehicular homicide. Under hypnosis, she provides clues that help unlock the murders. As Krogan continues his reign of terror, Gavin and Amy turn to a reluctant exorcist turned dairy farmer who has been victimized by Krogan in the past. The novel features a skillful mix of passages that entertain and frighten, and the plot is fast-paced and drenched in evil. Although the themes are strongly Christian, this is a solid crossover novel that should appeal to many readers of suspense and paranormal fiction.
Customer Reviews
Driven by W.G. Griffiths
A chilling fast paced, thriller that is uniquely different as well as believable.....
Now this is an extremely dark, twisted, believable, action packed thriller. True to Griffiths' form, you won't be able to put this book down. I had to at a certain point because as hair raising as it is, it gives one pause to think. There is a lot going on in this book and I had to let it sit a few days while I pondered some of it. When I went back to reading.....BAM! It all fell nicely in to place. I am typically NOT a thriller reader, yet I enjoyed this book immensely. The religious aspects seen in this novel, as well as Griffiths' other novels, are quite significant and necessary to the story and are in no way obtrusive. They are written in a natural, everyday, way of life, manner.
While the W.G. Griffiths novels are seemingly easy reads, if you dig as deeply while reading the story as the author has at supplying a wealth of facts and information, then you would agree with me that it is not so much an easy read, as it is the intuitive way the author pens his stories. There is a certain quality about this author, his characters, and his stories that is uniquely and refreshingly different.
After reading all the W.G. Griffiths novels, I find that his books are extremely well written, in a tasteful manner. He not only lends credibility and respect to his characters, but there is an underlying tone of credibilty and respect shown for his readers throughout his stories! It's a loyalty if you will, between author and reader, that can be felt growing more intense with each novel
