  <description><![CDATA[West Crosse is a genius at creating spaces uniquely fitting the people who will inhabit them. The catch: he works under a shroud of secrecy, charges his clients a fortune, and then sometimes, in the most skillful and horrifying ways, he kills them....West has the best of reasons. He's designing lives as well as homes, obliterating everything that is ugly, accidental, or ill-conceived. And with each meticulous murder he commits, he's getting better-leaving behind carved bodies that make a bone chilling statement of their own....Forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger is hunting an outrageous serial killer whose victims seem to have only wealth in common. With his own life in shambles and the murderer two steps ahead of him, Clevenger can't know that the next killing ground will be the White House, where an innocent life just needs the perfect touch....]]></description>

    <![CDATA['Keith Ablow is king of the psychological thriller......Ablow writes like a man possessed-with a pace so blistering the pages will all but singe your hands.' -DENNISLEHANE, AUTHOROFMYSTICRIVER W est Crosse is a brilliant, strikingly handsome architect with a love of ideal beauty and a commitment to achieving it at any cost. But the rich, powerful families who engage him to design their homes don't know his dark side: Crosse can't stop at designing their dwellings. He needs to make their lives perfect too, even if it means a gut rehab of the family, even if the final design takes years to achieve-murdering an abusive spouse, a toxic lover, a predatory business partner or an unwanted child. As Crosse is about to embark on the master work of his creative life, the FBI puts Frank Clevenger on the case, and the ultimate cat and mouse game begins. Keith Ablow, one of the nation's leading forensic psychiatrists, has for the last ten years been exploring the dark recesses of the criminal mind. He has interviewed dozens of murderers to find out what makes them tick. No one knows the psyche of the killer better.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[The issue for some with Ablow's books is going to be that they tend to be very graphic and intense.  If you get past the first Ablow book, which I though was the most disturbing, then you should really enjoy his Frank Clevenger series.  <br/><br/>As noted in other reviews, I love the series that g...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20582350">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[West Crosse is a genius at creating spaces uniquely fitting the people who will inhabit them. The catch: he works under a shroud of secrecy, charges his clients a fortune, and then sometimes, in the most skillful and horrifying ways, he kills them....West has the best of reasons. He's designing lives as well as homes, obliterating everything that is ugly, accidental, or ill-conceived. And with each meticulous murder he commits, he's getting better-leaving behind carved bodies that make a bone chilling statement of their own....Forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger is hunting an outrageous serial killer whose victims seem to have only wealth in common. With his own life in shambles and the murderer two steps ahead of him, Clevenger can't know that the next killing ground will be the White House, where an innocent life just needs the perfect touch....]]>

    <![CDATA['Keith Ablow is king of the psychological thriller......Ablow writes like a man possessed-with a pace so blistering the pages will all but singe your hands.' -DENNISLEHANE, AUTHOROFMYSTICRIVER W est Crosse is a brilliant, strikingly handsome architect with a love of ideal beauty and a commitment to achieving it at any cost. But the rich, powerful families who engage him to design their homes don't know his dark side: Crosse can't stop at designing their dwellings. He needs to make their lives perfect too, even if it means a gut rehab of the family, even if the final design takes years to achieve-murdering an abusive spouse, a toxic lover, a predatory business partner or an unwanted child. As Crosse is about to embark on the master work of his creative life, the FBI puts Frank Clevenger on the case, and the ultimate cat and mouse game begins. Keith Ablow, one of the nation's leading forensic psychiatrists, has for the last ten years been exploring the dark recesses of the criminal mind. He has interviewed dozens of murderers to find out what makes them tick. No one knows the psyche of the killer better.]]>

    <![CDATA[West Crosse is a genius at creating spaces uniquely fitting the people who will inhabit them. The catch: he works under a shroud of secrecy, charges his clients a fortune, and then sometimes, in the most skillful and horrifying ways, he kills them....West has the best of reasons. He's designing lives as well as homes, obliterating everything that is ugly, accidental, or ill-conceived. And with each meticulous murder he commits, he's getting better-leaving behind carved bodies that make a bone chilling statement of their own....Forensic psychiatrist Frank Clevenger is hunting an outrageous serial killer whose victims seem to have only wealth in common. With his own life in shambles and the murderer two steps ahead of him, Clevenger can't know that the next killing ground will be the White House, where an innocent life just needs the perfect touch....]]>

But, despite all that, this book is very well written with an unforgettable bad guy.  It makes you wonder whether the ends really justify the means.]]></body>

    <![CDATA['Keith Ablow is king of the psychological thriller......Ablow writes like a man possessed-with a pace so blistering the pages will all but singe your hands.' -DENNISLEHANE, AUTHOROFMYSTICRIVER W est Crosse is a brilliant, strikingly handsome architect with a love of ideal beauty and a commitment to achieving it at any cost. But the rich, powerful families who engage him to design their homes don't know his dark side: Crosse can't stop at designing their dwellings. He needs to make their lives perfect too, even if it means a gut rehab of the family, even if the final design takes years to achieve-murdering an abusive spouse, a toxic lover, a predatory business partner or an unwanted child. As Crosse is about to embark on the master work of his creative life, the FBI puts Frank Clevenger on the case, and the ultimate cat and mouse game begins. Keith Ablow, one of the nation's leading forensic psychiatrists, has for the last ten years been exploring the dark recesses of the criminal mind. He has interviewed dozens of murderers to find out what makes them tick. No one knows the psyche of the killer better.]]>
