Bloodman

"FBI contractor Jake Cole deciphers the language of murderers by reconstructing three-dimensional crime scene models in his head, a talent that has left his nerves frayed and his psyche fragile. Jake returns to Montauk for the first time in a quarter of a century when his father, a renowned painter, lights himself ablaze and crashes through a plate-glass window. Once home, Jake is pulled into a gruesome local homicide investigation that echoes his mother's murder three decades earlier. As he sifts through the detritus of his father's madness, Jake discovers thousands of seemingly meaningless paintings stacked in the studio - a bizarre trail of dust-covered breadcrumbs the painter left as he tumbled down the rabbit hole of dementia - breadcrumbs that Jake believes lead to the killer. With the help of Sheriff Dan Hauser - a man scrambling to prepare the seaside community for the arrival of a catastrophic hurricane - Jake Cole sets out to find the seemingly unstoppable force of malevolence known as the Bloodman ..."--Author's website.

Special Agent Jake Cole left his abusive father behind 28 years ago. His father's health is declining, he has dementia and Jake is an only child and takes on the task of dealing with his father. After Jake gets back to Montouk, NY he is contacted by the sheriff about 2 bodies not far from Jake's father's house. The bodies of a woman and child had been found in a house and were skinned. Cole sticks around to help with the case. Not only Cole dealing with his father and the case, there is also a hurricane on its way to Montauk. 

Jake's character is a troubled character. His father was a abusive alcoholic. Jake is a tattooed recovering addict. He also has a wife and son that he would like to get back to. He is good at solving the crimes of murderers in a unique way.

This is an incredible first novel by Pobi. The characters and scenes in the book were well developed and intriguing. The murder scene was described very graphically and may be offensive for some readers. I hope to see more books from this author. It is a must read for the genre.
