Killing Red - Paperback

by Henry Perez (Author)

Fifteen years ago, Cuban-American newspaper reporter Alex Chapa made a name for himself when he broke the story of Kenny Lee Grubb's capture, after police were led to the serial killer's house by ten-year-old Annie Sykes. Now, less than a week before Grubb is scheduled to be executed, Chapa is summoned to the prison for a final interview. But instead of engaging in the usual death row topics of remorse and religious conversion, the killer boasts that his work continues. Not only is someone retracing his deadly steps, but Grubb assures Chapa that Annie Sykes, now a woman in her mid-twenties, will be the copycat's final tribute. This sends Chapa on a quest to find Grubb's last victim, the one that got away, to save the young woman from a fate the killer planned for her fifteen years earlier. But Chapa isn't the only one searching for the elusive Annie Sykes. And Annie isn't the only one whose life needs to be saved... Set on the mean streets of Chicago and in the deceptively dangerous towns that surround the city, Killing Red is a stunning debut thriller by former newspaper reporter Henry Perez.
