Synopsis

In the bestselling tradition of The Silence of the Lambs comes The Tower, a novel of nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping terror played out in a psychological battle of wit, cunning, and pure evil between a diabolically clever killer and his determined hunter.Allander Atlasia is an infamous psychopath whose heinous crimes have earned him a lifetime stay at the Tower (nicknamed Alcatraz II), the world's most extreme maximum-security prison. But after a brilliant and brutal escape, the criminal mastermind begins a killing spree that is intensely personal—one by one, victims fall prey to a twisted and chilling re-enactment of his own depraved past.Jade Marlow is an ex-FBI profiler and tracker whose fearlessness is only surpassed by the severity of his own inner demons. With a record of irrational behavior and a genius for putting himself into the mind of a criminal predator, he may be the one man diabolical enough to catch Atlasia. In an escalating contest of wills and wits, two equally defiant men race toward a showdown where daring is deadly and failure is fatal.

Goodreads review by Glenn

These days, Gregg Hurwitz (he’s since dropped the middle name on his covers) is best known as the author of the Orphan X thriller series (coming soon to a movie theatre near you, produced by and starring Bradley Cooper).

Both Allander and Jade have been drawn as larger-than-life titanic figures, each severely traumatised leading to polar opposites development. Another interesting thing is that we see Jade who can't control himself but does a great job catching killers, and we see Allander who carries himself fairly......more
