The most terrifying monsters are real and walk among us every day.
Meet Lance Belanger, he has only one ambition, to be the most infamous killer of all time. After murdering a single mom and her toddler child, Lance indoctrinates himself into the world of serial murder. Before long, the bodies start turning up all over the country. Each victim is incapacitated by a puncture wound to the spine, then, while still alive, they are dismembered, their arms, legs, and head are severed from the torso.
FBI investigators call their killer “Highwayman.” But beyond the multi-state dumping of staged victims, the killer has left them little else to go on. With no DNA or forensic evidence, veteran FBI agent Lewis Ash is in a race against retirement as he tracks the elusive murderer.
Meanwhile, Lance has other plans that will up his game and increase his body count. In a web of murder that reaches from the United States to Bucharest, Romania, a diabolical plan is set into motion to attract the most dangerous predators the world has to offer.
Can the FBI stop this killer before he sets his plan into motion?

This is the 3rd book I’ve read by MJ Preston. Yet again, another page turner! I didn’t want to put it down. Starfish…. What comes to mind when you think of Starfish? Read this book, and you will have a new definition for the term Starfish. I’m not going to tell you anymore than that about this book, other than I don’t like Lance and I felt sorry for Norris. Norris got the poop end of the stick from day dot one, and it didn’t get any better for him. It does have some gruesome parts – it wouldn’t be a good serial killer/horror book if it didn’t. I was given a copy of this book, by the author, for an honest review. Honestly, I’m going to go read, Four, the next book in this series – because I want to see what happens next!
