Summary:

Punctuated with one blisteringly violent and unpredictable twist
after another, this pitch-perfect study of psychological terror
spotlights two magnificent minds opposed in a no-holds-barred duel of
cunning and depravity. A master killer calling himself the Sandman is
out for revenge. He's slaughtering not just one person at a time but
whole families and whole neighborhoods, unleashing devastating
explosions nationwide, and watching the horror unfold on a
sophisticated network of surveillance cameras. No one knows why he is
committing his crimes, or where he'll strike next. But one man --
Jack Casey -- knows this: the Sandman wants him in the middle of the
case, and wants him to suffer... Jack was the FBI's top profiler
until a psychopath's unspeakable crime shattered his life. Now Jack
is starting over as a detective in a posh shoreline community outside
Boston, and involved with a beautiful woman who knows nothing about
his shocking past. But the Sandman has found him, and his
cutting-edge electronic devices are silently monitoring Jack's every
move. Knowing that a showdown is imminent, Jack turns in desperation
to Malcolm Fletcher, a strange and brilliant fallen angel from the
profiling unit. Fletcher is wanted by the FBI. And he possesses the
key to unlocking the Sandman's demented mind. As Jack Casey confronts
evidence that the evil he's fighting may have emanated from his own
side of the law, the Sandman's motivations begin to appear and a wild
chase ensues. But while racing against time to save the next family,
Jack is led deeper into the dark and terrifying tunnels of his
fragile mind -- a place where the Sandman awaits, to deal his final
master stroke of vindictive cruelty. Deviant Ways is a breathtaking
and unforgettable first novel that catapults Chris Mooney into
suspense fiction's highest ranks. A harrowing journey through
ordinary streets turned into scenes of unimaginable terror, it
careens from cries of mass murder to whispers within the mind -- in a
disturbing cat-and-mouse game of righ-teousness, loss, and vengeance.
