Final Victim

By Stephen J. Cannell

Book Overview

A genius, hairless, seven-foot-tall psychopath, Leonard Land is many people wired into the cyber-subculture of Satanism and Death Metal. He is smart and cunning. He is quick, brutal and deadly. And he is everywhere. A renegade U.S. customs agent, a brilliant and beautiful forensic phychologist and a streetwise convict master hacker are on the trail of the maniac who is methodically slaughtering innocent women -- a hunt that is leading a trio of unlikely heroes across an imperiled nation...and deep into the darkest corridors of cyberspace. But there is no system the maniac cannot infiltrate, no secrets he cannot access. He knows he is being hunted...and by whom. And he's determined to strike first -- in ways too terrible to anticipate.

Customer Reviews

This book was the best thriller written by Steven Cannell

The beginning of this book had a thriller-start that kept on giving. I have read almost all of Patricia Cromwell's and James Patterson's books and this has gotten them beat by far. This kept my attention (which is hard to do) and kept me guessing throughout the entire book. This is a definite "hat's off" to the author. I simply hope that Leonard Land doesn't come creeping around my house!

Where's the movie?

This book was a fast-paced, all nighter! Haven't read Cannell's next books yet, but if they are anything like this one, I'm hooked! After you read this one you too will ask "When is the movie coming out!"

Excellent reading. One of those "hard to put down" books!

I too enjoyed the book, "Final Victim". The story line was excellent and suspenseful. One of those books that's hard to put down. Cannell is definitely a good writer. I only wish he could have left some of the gorier details to the imagination. He gets a little too graphic in my opinion. This is definitely not a book for the light-hearted! But, I guess since that's what sells movies, it'll sell books too. I still highly recommend it. I look forward to seeing what else this author has written

a very unique serial killing novel

Good story, good characters, good plot. This is a writer not only just up and coming, but should be widely appreciated and topped the bestseller lists every time he published. You should read his THE PLAN, and especially his 3rd new novel, KING CON. Then you would become one of his loyal fans like me

A perfect 10!!!

Final Victim is one of the most cyber-kinetic, energetic, compelling books I've read in a long time. I loved it! The characters jump off the page and interact in a thoroughly entertaining triangle. The hacking and cracking is fascinating and well researched. I hope to see this story up on the big screen reall soon..
