Killing Red

the long version

"He's been waiting... on death row, serial killer Kenneth Lee Grubb has six days to live. His last request? An interview with reporter Alex Chapa. What begins as a dream story soon turns into a nightmare for Alex. For amidst Grubb's taunts and boasts lies the horrific claim that someone is carefully repeating his past crimes... for the moment... when nine people suddenly turn up dead, Alex realizes Grubb is telling the truth. Now the copycat killer is ready to pay his ultimate tribute to his idol. He's set his sights on Annie Sykes -- or "Red" as Grubb calls her -- the only survivor of his bloodlust fifteen years ago... to commit the perfect murder... in a desperate race against time, Alex must find Annie and rescue her from the same fate she escaped a decade earlier. But what Alex doesn't know is that "Red" isn't the only one whose life is in danger"--P. [4] of cover.
