Customer Reviews

I loved it!

I read other reviews about this and Walker's other "Edge" novels, and get a little angry. I really like his novels, and think they are really good. People were saying mean things about how he put that there was snow in Texas, but there is some times when weather can be unpredictable. I mean, it's totally possible. Anyway, I thought it was a great book, and very interesting. I for one, could not put it down. The people who are putting this book down, if you are not satisfied, then go out and you try writing a novel of Mr.Walker's caliber, then you can make fun of it. But until then, try and not be so scathing.

WOW, WHAT A WINNER FROM WALKER!

I've read all of Robert W. Walker's novels and I was greatly awaiting the release of "Cold Edge." This Edge novel was the third in the series. Lucas Stonecoat and Meredith Sanger are back to solve the murders of the Scalper, a brutal serial killer, who takes off his victims body parts and their scalps, and to solve the murders of the Headless Horseman, who likes to cut heads off after raping them. Lucas starts to suspect a well-known psychiatrist, who treats crazy people after they are released from prison in the Houston area, is the key to these murders. The doctor refuses to give any information about his patients to Stonecoat. Eventually after the doctor, gets murdered himself. Lucas must quickly determine which ones of his patient's is a serial killer before his and Sanger's life are cut short. Also Lucas goes off to visit his grandfather who is dying. This takes you on an interesting trip through the Indian culture. This book was an amazing novel of policework. Add "Cold Edge" to your must read list!

A seria;l killer novel thatis really fantastic

Detective Lucas Stonecoat feels caught between two worlds as he wants to honor the traditions of his Native American heritage, but follows the procedures of the Houston police department where he works. He drops everything when his first love Tsalie informs him that his beloved grandfather is dying. He needs to say his good-byes to his revered relative.While Lucas goes on leave, The Scalper, a deadly serial killer, strikes again. Lucas, in charge of the investigation, leaves his grandfather's side to look at the crime scene. At his apartment, Lucas finds police psychiatrist Dr. Meredith Sanger there waiting for him. She knew the victim. Though they share a professional relationship, sexual sparks fly between Meredith and Lucas. Still holding that in abeyance, the two conclude that the last murder is probably not the work of the Scalper, but that of a different sociopath. As the death toll mounts and the city cringes in fear, Lucas and Meredith place themselves at risk in order to stop a deadly perpetrator from killing again.Readers who walk the COLD EDGE will feel apprehension and near panic as the story line takes the audience into the warped minds of human monsters and the terrified minds of the victims. The maniacal killers relish murder, torture, and rape while the terrified victims welcome death. The police procedural is exciting because Robert W. Walker keeps the audience (and his cops) on edge as to whether there are one or more killers. Sub-genre fans will want to walk along the edge with Mr. Walker's latest chiller.Harriet Klausner
