Product Description Nothing will ever be the same again. In the heart of Philadelphia's badlands, Homicide Detectives Byrne and Balzano are called out to a particularly chilling crime scene. Once the pillar of the neighbourhood, an abandoned church has become a killing room. At first it looks like a random act of violence. But then a second body is found, and a third. Each crime scene more disturbing than the last, each murder more brutal. And it soon becomes horrifyingly clear that a cold, calculating and terrifyingly precise mind is at work. With very few leads, and a mastermind who always seems to be one step ahead, Byrne and Balzano are faced with challenges they could never have imagined as they race against time to hunt down their killer, before it's too late.

Another in the Balzano/Byrne detective series. Yes another grizzly serial killer is on the loose on the streets of Philadelphia, but with these two hunting them down, they won't be killing long. Cliche, but these books are well written and never boring.

I am unsure why I gave this book four stars when I read it for the first time two years ago. It's better than THE ECHO MAN, but honestly, it'd have to be a rambling experimental epic poem for it not to be better than THE ECHO MAN. It's hard for me to believe, what with th. Read full review

An ex-cop man is found, wrapped in barb wire, kept alive for ten days then left to be discovered hanging in a church. Then another man is found frozen in ice and another that had been forced to swallow stones. The only clue Balzano and Byrne have to go on is: 7 Churches O. Read full review

So I had never heard of this author or this series of books and I just happened to pick it up cheaply in a bookshop on a holiday whilst perusing.
Not the most exciting of introductions I grant you but and it is a big BUT what a treat. I really really liked this. Really clo. Read full review

Slow going. Read a few reviews before (none with spoilers) and am not sure, what to expect.
Now I am 39% into the book according to the Kindle count. And thinking: too far to abandon it, not far enough to expect the end soon.
As an Atheist, the rel. Read full review

This really did start very well, and it gripped me right from the start. The writing is clear and descriptive and I did feel there was a supernatural mystery forming, but somewhere along the way it lost that pace and ultimately the resolution and conclusion somehow shed t. Read full review

Another gripping thriller in this series featuring Detectives Kevin Byrne & Jessica Balzano. It has a strong religious theme, as did the first in the series.
I was slightly perplexed by the final few pages of the novel set 30 years in the future. I wasn't sure if this. Read full review

I love the Byrne/Balzano series. The Killing Room was pretty dark and disturbing. What puzzled me was the ending when Gabriel Hightower met up with Maria Caruso instead of his Philly Brothers mentor Kevin Byrne some thirty years later. Made me curious to want to know what. Read full review

A slow start but developed into quite a good book.
I did not find it a page turner but I will find time to read more of his work.
