Like many high school students, Duncan is less than thrilled about his summer job. He spends his days well below street level working in the Lost & Found department of the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC).
One afternoon, he picks up a leather bound book with no title. Curious, he browses several pages to which are attached a bunch of news clipping about animal mutilations. Not a book Duncan wants to read. As the days pass, he is drawn back to the book and it's gruesome writings. He finds that it is clear that the author of the journal has escalated from killing animals to targeting women. It isn't long before he draws his friends Vinny and then Wayne into his research about the books contents.
Author Graham McNamee has created a realistic group of friends. I could easily imagine these young men and their banter. Their approach to solving the mystery of the author of the journal made total sense. A trip to the local library is often a great place to begin.
I really enjoyed this story with it's mainly teenage characters.
If you enjoy books for teens with serial killers, you might enjoy:
