review 1: I have heard so many good things about the author James Hankins so I couldn't wait to read one of his books. I was certainly not disappointed and will be purchasing more. John Spader was a popular figure with the public for his capturing of serial killers, but through a mistake in the search warrant by one of his colleagues a really nasty serial killer practically walked away from a murder sentence, now John is not in the good books. He is now hunting another serial killer who dresses up with a mask from a favorite cartoon character. This guy is seriously twisted and extremely cruel where his victims are concerned. He enters their house and then straps them to a chair gives them two unbelievable choices as to what part of their body they will lose through his torture metho... moreds and this decision has to be made within a time limit. My goodness this story is scary but the detective work and procedures are really well managed. Quite a way through I started putting things together and was not surprised who the killer was, but the author still had me second guessing. Incredible story.
review 2: I wrote JACK OF SPADES, and this isn't a review or a rating, but I thought readers might be interested to know how I came up with the idea for the book. It came to me in the middle of the night, when I woke up from a deep sleep. Lying in the dark, this bizarre thought came to me: "What if when I open my eyes, someone is standing beside my bed with a knife? Someone famous. No, not merely famous but, in fact, someone loved my millions." The idea of such a strange, creepy occurrence kept me up all night -- not in fear of famous boogeymen appearing in my room, but with interest in the possibilities of a story there for me. Soon I was writing JACK OF SPADES. less

If you are squeamish do not read this book. It was grim and gruesome but utterly gripping.
