Thrilling whodunit with lots of science to add to the depth of the story. Theo Cray is a professor who specializes in computer programming around biological patterns. He’s a fascinating and believable character who lands accidentally in an investigation, but begins to see patterns that elude law enforcement. Unable to turn away, he chases his leads across Montana to find a killer.
On my toes the entire time
This book had just the right amount of everything: suspense, mystery, romance and a substantial dose of WTF. I'd read this again.

It will be interesting to follow the evolution of Theo Cray over the course of this series. Here he comes into his own with a series of horrible murders that have long been assumed to be bear or animal attacks. Using some novel methods he finds the killer and must eventually confront him. Its scary to think there will be more of these killers to find.
Exciting fast paced read
I liked all the connections between biology and tracking a killer. The ending left something to be desired but was still good and exciting.

Honestly, not actually worth rating.
I cannot believe I wasted a day on this thrash! Toward the end I was just turning pages and skimming text. Badly written with a protagonist that I wanted dead more than the killer...a conceited, egotistical man with a seriously weird ‘super-hero’ complex! And Mayne obviously has the lowest possible opinion of the US police...inept, lazy and corrupt as he portrays them in turn. As for Professor Cray - like I said, a super-hero, capable of finding corpses at the drop of a hat, stealing evidence and even a corpse when needed, faking his own death, while pretending to be deeply moved about the death of a student that at the beginning of the book he cannot even remember! What a moron!
Uuuggghhh!, I’m so angry I didn’t DNF this...and there’s a series apparently!
