Overview

As his family life threatens to disintegrate and his work partner disappears, he is assigned to the most shocking case of his career-a strange and remarkably violent murder. Stan must look into the crime alone. He finds just one witness, a neurologically disabled recluse who sees through the souls of others as demonic hallucinations.

Soon he realizes that the deaths fall into the pattern of a serial killer--and starts to believe that his witness is not at all insane, but terrifyingly perceptive . . .

Praise for A Killer's Essence <br><br> Last night I finished the best crime novel I have read in the last year -- an advance reading copy of Dave Zeltserman's book A Killer's Essence , which will be published by Overlook Press in September. The story line was superb as well as the characters . . . [Zeltserman] nailed the atmosphere of New York City and Brooklyn. There is no question that our customers will love this book. And there is no question that I want a copy for my collection, when this comes out. --Dave Kanell, co-owner Kingdom Books in Vermont <br><br>

Few writers are Zeltserman's equal in setting up the chessboard with obsessive perps and depressive cops . . . Zeltserman's lean but muscular style, so evident in [ A Killer's Essence ] and The Caretaker of Lorne Field , is just as sharply honed here. His ability to juggle Green's story and Lynch's, develop a riveting murder mystery, and even mix in some Brighton Beach ex-KGB sleazeballs, all in less than 250 pages, is a pretty neat page-turning trick . . . a memorable winner. &#8212 The Boston Globe
