Death Collectors

A sequel to the acclaimed debut THE HUNDREDTH MAN, this is the second police procedural starring detectives Harry Nautilus and Carson Ryder, the two-man Psychopathological and Sociopathological Investigative Team of the Mobile, Alabama, police force. Their latest disturbing case concerns the murder of a woman whose naked corpse was found in a cheap motel room, covered in flowers and surrounded by candles--including two placed in her eye sockets. The investigation leads to the cult of followers devoted to Marsden Hexcamp, a charismatic artist and extremely perverted psychopath shot dead at his sentencing 30 years ago, and to the underground market for serial killer memorabilia.
