Gregg Andrew Hurwitz

Devastated by a criminal sexual attack as a child, Allander Atlasia, a brilliant, scheming psychotic, escapes from a high-security prison and sets out to seek retribution on everyone who has ever hurt him, and violent ex-FBI agent-turned-P.I. Jade Marlow is the only one who can stop him. A first novel. Reprint.

The Tower

In the bestselling tradition of The Silence of the Lambs comes The Tower, a novel of nail-biting suspense and heart-stopping terror played out in a psychological battle of wit, cunning, and pure evil between a diabolically clever killer and his determined hunter. Allander Atlasia is an infamous psychopath whose heinous crimes have earned him a lifetime stay at the Tower (nicknamed Alcatraz II), the world's most extreme maximum-security prison. But after a briliant and brutal escape, the criminal mastermind begins a killing spree that is intensely personal—one by one, victims fall prey to a twisted and chilling re-enactment of his own depraved past. Jade Marlow is an ex-FBI profiler and tracker whose fearlessness is only surpassed by the severity of his own inner demons. With a record of irrational behavior and a genius for putting himself into the mind of a criminal predator, he may be the one man diabolical enough to catch Atlasia. In an excalating contest of wills and wits, two equally defiant men race toward a showdown where daring is deadly and failure is fatal.

Carol Bailey

I was sucked in from the very beginning. The story is a bit brutal and it's sometimes difficult to tell the difference between the good guy and the bad., although, I never felt empathy for the killer. I'm hoping there is a sequel

In his debut novel, Gregg Andrew Hurwitz tells the hard-hitting story of a traumatised prisoner's escape from jail and his quest for revenge. Maverick private eye Jade Marlow may be the only man who can stop deranged killer Allander Atlasia.
