COMPULSION

He claims his first victim while posing as a glamorous woman; his next disguise is that of a feeble old man. There is no obvious connection between his targets, save the savage fate that awaits each of them...and the inexplicable use of stolen luxury cars. Baffled by this killer, LAPD Detective Milo Sturgis teams up with psychologist Alex Delaware in order to track one of the craftiest, most ruthless enemies they’ve ever faced, unearthing much more that they bargained for: the abduction and dismember- ment of a young woman; a decade-old, never-solved multiple slaying in a small town north of L.A: and the long-ago disappearance of a couple in New York City. Chilling, pulse-pounding, unforgettable, Compulsion is about the drive to destroy, and the lies that murderers tell themselves so that they can go on killing.
