Eric Van Lustbader is a name that's always amused me. A Douglas Bader I can respect, but a Lustbader? I dunno! But it's not the name that's at issue here, it's the dumbass book blurb as usual in a non-review. The description asks, "When a ruthless serial killer targets people close to him, can martial arts expert Nicholas Linnear use his skills to take down a powerful villain?" What's he going to do? Kick the crap out of everyone until one of them confesses? I'm not convinced a linear inquiry is going to work! What if he needs to make a leap of logic? LOL! No, let the cops handle it.
