review 1: It's 1944 right after the Allied invasion of Normandy and a serial killing is stalking young men and boys in and around small town in Texas. Could the killer be a member of the town's sizable German immigrant population? How, if at all, is young Tim Randall's mysterious German neighbor Ernst Lang? In addition to crafting an interesting thriller, Thomas manages to touch on some important themes regarding human violence and the need to simultaneously hate and fear the outsider. Recommended
review 2: This was my first book by Thomas, and he reminded me a bit of Jack Ketchum. He doesn't avoid the gruesome stuff and keeps your, sometimes unwilling, eyes glued to the pages, in spite of everything on the pages. This book was tightly plotted and had great characte... morer-development. I couldn't figure out whether I liked Ernst or not; maybe he deserved what happened to him. I'll leave that for you to decide. An excellent read. less
