Shadow of Cain

the long version

Twenty-one years ago, in a single night of terror, Raymond Lomak earned a kind of immortality for himself as the most notorious mass murderer of our time. Today, at noon, the gates of San Quentin prison will open and Lomak, apparently rehabilitated, will go free. In this story of electrifying suspense, we are plunged into Lomaks shadowy world and behold the lure of a powerful, born-again religious movement through which Lomak will rise once more to make his mark.
