Summary
An Amazon Charts bestseller.
Professor Theo Cray is trained to see patterns where others see chaos. So when mutilated bodies found deep in the Montana woods leave the cops searching blindly for clues, Theo sees something they missed. Something unnatural. Something only he can stop.
As a computational biologist, Theo is more familiar with digital code and microbes than the dark arts of forensic sleuthing. But a field trip to Montana suddenly lands him in the middle of an investigation into the bloody killing of one of his former students. As more details, and bodies, come to light, the local cops determine that the killer is either a grizzly gone rogue...or Theo himself. Racing to stay one step ahead of the police, Theo must use his scientific acumen to uncover the killer. Will he be able to become as cunning as the predator he hunts - before he becomes its prey?

Gripping and intelligent mystery
This first time novel from Andrew Mayne has all of the elements of a gripping mystery suspense story. The listener is captivated from the first paragraph and the author does not let go until the last word. What is really surprising is that it is intelligent and scientifically accurate, the author having clearly done his research to ensure that the details are correct.
I was captivates by the story and writing and cannot wait to listen to his second in the series.

Talk about melodrama
Unfortunately the incredibly over dramatic narration lends an inadvertently comedic element to an already overwrought story. Had the writer just held back slightly on the hysteria it would have been a good serial killer thriller, as it is, it just gets sillier and sillier in regards to the scientist hero as it near the end. It’s not awful, it’s just - too much.

A driven hero
A very clever somewhat socially awkward scientist becomes the hero that discovers and takes down a serial killer that no one believes exists. Very good even the sciency bits

Great listen
I loved everything about this book. It had me gripped from the start and I genuinely didn’t want it to end. I enjoy Jack Reacher/John Milton characters but this nerdy bioinformatics professor is right up there with them. I loved his unusual thought processes and felt his frustration when others didn’t make the mental leaps that he did. Can’t wait for Book 2.
A brilliant narrator enhanced the pleasure.

Amazing, gripping and terrifying!
Frighteningly real, couldn’t stop listening. The most compelling book I have read in a long time.
