When a fellow officer is killed while searching the vehicle of a Native American, deputy sheriff Jimmy Doe discovers that the killer, dubbed the Tin Man, has also murdered at least two other people and is targeting another, a situation that prompts Doe to launch a relentless investigative road trip across Texas. 50,000 first printing. As the serial killer genre has grown in popularity, so has the body count. In Robert Bloch's masterpiece, Psycho, we had four victims, including two done in before the novel even begins. Now in this book, we have dozens of victims strewn along an Apian Way of viscera and gore. This sanguine saga is about a morose and languid Texas deputy sheriff, Jim Doe, who helps a team of FBI profilers track down the notorious "Tin Man." For the last 15 years, the killer has been abducting Indian children, including Doe's sister, during tornadoes. Now the Tin Man's activities are on the rise. Doe and the agents follow the killer back and forth from the heartland to the East Coast until you begin to wonder who is tracking who in this murderous old Land of Oz. For those who like their mayhem loaded on thick, this book will be a creepy double pleasure, but those sensitive to mountains of graphic violence, especially when directed toward children, might want to steer clear.
