Waiting on Wednesday is a meme hosted by Breaking the Spine to let us share our excitement for books coming out soon.
Title: Shutter Man
Author: Richard Montanari
Expected publication: February 9th, 2016
Publisher: Mulholland Books
Billy is an excellent killer: strategic, methodical, ritualistic. If only he knew what his victims looked like.
Plagued with a rare disease that prevents him from recognizing faces, Billy carries a photograph in his pocket that is his only way of identifying his next target. Killing is in Billy’s bloodline, as a member of Philadelphia’s dangerous Farren crime family.
While Billy stalks Philadelphia, Detective Kevin Byrne is assigned to a series of bizarre home-invasion cases and is joined by his former partner–turned–assistant district attorney, Jessica Balzano. Their investigations circle Byrne’s childhood neighborhood of Devil’s Pocket, and they find themselves revisiting a crime from Byrne’s past that has haunted him for decades. What Byrne witnessed as a child in Devil’s Pocket jeopardizes the Farren family—which makes him the next target on Billy’s hit list.
A multigenerational story of hardship, guilt, and redemption, Shutter Man is Byrne and Balzano’s most tense and personal case to date.
Oh. I don’t really read suspense books but I hope you like it.

Ooh this sounds creepy. Well, I guess all serial killer stories are, right? I’ve never read this author before, sounds very exciting:-D

I haven’t read him either, but I’ve had very good luck with Mulholland books so far. And I know Lynn enjoyed his book The Doll Maker (at least I think that is what I remember)

I vaguely remember reading a review for The Doll Maker, and thinking the story sounded very creepy.

I remember seeing Lynn’s review for that. I hadn’t realized it was the same author until I was drafting this WoW post.

Oh this sounds creepy, I have my eye on it. I wonder if there will be a paranormal element. Doesn’t seem like it but you never know with Mulholland.
