Ashes, Ashes

A Manhattan forensic psychologist is targeted by a madman in this “taut, mind-blowing . . . Genuinely gripping thriller” (Booklist). Dr. Barrett Conyors knows just how dangerous Richard Glash is. She’s studied him. An easily triggered paranoid schizophrenic obsessed with Charles Manson and John Wayne Gacy, he’s currently serving four life sentences for an appalling series of murders. What a terrible mistake it would be if he were to be transferred to a local, far less secure, hospital for the criminally insane. It’s what Glash’s bleeding-heart attorney Carla Phelps demands. It’s what Barrett fears. The nightmare comes true when Glash escapes. Taking Barrett and Carla hostage is Glash’s first move. His next is inconceivably chilling. Barrett and Carla won’t be the only ones to suffer. What Glash has planned is to terrorize the entire city of New York. He’s sworn to become one of the most notorious mass murderers in recorded history—and he’s determined to make good on his promise.
