Why read it?
1 author picked Headhunter as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
It was hard to pick a book in Michael Slade’s Special X series, as the first few books work together like a symphony. I’ve always been fascinated with serial murder, like so many people who get into psychology.

From Christopher's list on horror that will keep you up at night.
