The Executioner

Inside a Los Angeles church, on the altar steps, lies the blood-soaked, decapitated body of a priest. Carefully positioned, legs stretched out, arms crossed over the chest, the most horrifying thing of all is that the priest's head has been replaced by that of a dog.

Each victim is marked with a number drawn in blood, and it falls to detectives Robert Hunter and Carlos Garcia to work out who the remaining victims are before the killer reaches them. The Executioner is the second Robert Hunter thriller, following The Crucifix Killer, and is a graphically violent serial killer investigation.
