Mortal Fear by Greg Iles is one of the most suspenseful serial killer thriller-dillers I've heard in a long time.
Six women who subscribe to EROS, an erotic online service, have been murdered, mutilated, and their pineal glands removed -- weird or what? Could this be the first "Melatonin Murderer," someone looking for a glandular "fountain of youth"?
While the FBI and all their experts at Quantico are bungling the hunt for the killer, Harper Cole, an EROS operator and best buddy of its originator, has engaged "Brahma," the brilliantly mad murderer, in extended cyber conversation and may just have enough information to snag him. It's a pulse-pounding cassette flipper, and Jay O. Sanders does a super job with all the characters, especially the sonorously seductive "Brahma."
