Publisher's summary

Relentless, inhumanly cunning, a killer stalks the serene streets and elegant houses of the quiet Illinois suburb of Riverdale. The victims' skulls are shattered, their flesh torn and flayed.

Hard on the killer's trail, a dedicated cop and a brilliant young doctor risk everything to run an elusive, insanely savage predator to ground. Their only clue - a beautiful girl, scarred body and soul by a past she can't escape. Their only hope - untangling the dark, terrifying secrets of that past before their quarry turns the tables and makes them the hunted.

Torn from today's headlines, Claw Hammer is a suspense-filled novel of psychopathological investigation orchestrated by a masterful storyteller. Now a part of the acclaimed Instruments of Death series from Gordian Knot Mysteries, and Crossroad Press Publishing, Claw Hammer introduces Detective Carl Erickson and Pathologist Marsha Wade to lovers of crime fiction.

Great Narrator!

The narrator, Michael Rubino, kept your attention. He did an excellent job changing his voice for the various characters so you knew who's voice was expressing the dialogue before a name was mentioned. This kept the book engaging.

Loved the plot!

The plot is interesting & unexpected. It keeps you on the edge of your seat & keeps you guessing who did it & how it will play out.

SAVE YOUR MONEY

there is no story to this book, the author tells you who de killer is half the way through the book and all she does is hit people in the head with a claw hammer , inside, outside, by the pool, after a while who cares , really, no suspense, no thrill, no story, monotonous reading, probably written by the authors little kid, Do not waste your money !! 4 stars???? you must be kidding tricking people like that , honestly, total GABBAGE !!!
