Skeleton King

Detective Damien Drake, Book 4

By: Patrick Logan

Narrated by: Michael Pauley

The legend of some serial killers simply refuses to die. If only their victims could be so lucky.

When a body is found - dissolved in acid, a ring of finger bones cemented to the skull - Drake is floored.

For more than a year, he's been telling the NYPD that the man he had killed, the man who had taken his partner's life, wasn't the real Skeleton King.

Nobody believed him.

Even now, with a new skeleton as proof, Drake is met with resistance.

A copycat killer, they say. A deranged fan of Peter Kellington, perhaps. But Drake knows differently. He knows this is the work of the original Skeleton King, and he is driven to seek revenge for his dead partner.

Only, like before, he has no suspects.

Drake is on his own, trying to stop a sadistic murderer before he strikes again. Seeking answers, he turns to an unlikely ally to catch the Skeleton King once and for all: another serial killer who he put away during his time as an NYPD detective. But it doesn't take long before Drake starts to wonder who's asking the questions and who's providing the answers, and if he can catch a killer with his sanity still intact.

So, so

This novel was broken in two parts. The first part was between Drake and Ray. The second part had Drake as a consultant (of sorts). The ending was rushed and I didn’t care for that but overall the book was worth listening to.

Damien Drake novels have me hooked.

Patrick has a great set of characters, each getting more and more developed as the series grows. Looking forward to more. Nice writing.

Loved!

I love this series! Would love to hear more from Patrick Logan and Michael Pauley!!!

Exciting Story. i hope, I am wrong and Derk is not dead. When is the next Story of Derk?

Huge plot error. how is this possible?

First part of book had Drake as boy with Ray. End of book changes it to Dane, Drake's heretofore unknown brother,all to setup the lame ending.
I'm done as I already struggled with listening to an idiot self destructing. would be better if editor wasn't drunk too like author must have been.
