More Description

A serial killer has been brutally murdering select victims – couples mostly. Intriguingly, however, there is a higher calling that this serial “hunter” serves. Detective Stanley Devonshire of a small Police Department north of Boston is hot on the trail of evidence in an attempt to determine exactly how the killer has managed to continue on in his brutal rampage undiscovered — for what appears to be eighty years now — and with the exact same pattern. At the outset, there is no discernible thread of reason connecting the killings. So Stan enlists the help of his longtime friend from Marblehead, Detective Mark Brown. Stan is also joined forcibly by a state police officer and federal agent who follow him along on a journey of revelation, twist after incredible twist. Devonshire is certain that he is close to solving the cases stacking up on his desk, but in his attempt to identify the illusive killer, will he or someone close to him become the hunter’s next prey? The Steel Van Man has the reader holding his breath and postulating at every turn as the book weaves a story of murders committed and justice sought. While the author weaves tantalizing threads of disclosure, the reader is driven in an uncomfortable direction — a direction he might prefer to avoid.
