Killing Janus Dave Gardner

At last, he came to the edge of the pine forest. Ahead was the parking lot. There was no doubt in Kane's mind. The killer had parked in this lot and walked to the murder scene.

Deputy Sheriff Adam Kane has returned to his boyhood home in hopes of regaining some of the humanity stripped from him in the decades of waging war against his fellow man. Instead of the peace and tranquility he hopes to find, he is confronted with an evil resurrected from his past-a human monster who is killing the children of the small Tennessee town. Kane knows monsters. He has battled them in Vietnam, the Philippines, Africa, Afghanistan, Columbia, and Mexico. He has seen the abyss and the menacing darkness that dwells within it. Now, he must ask the questions, "What makes a man a monster?" and "What makes a monster a man?"Step aside, Hannibal Lector. Your successor has arrived.
