The Special X team of the Royal Canadian police are experts at decoding the criminal mind-and hardened by years of confronting the most heinous of murderers. From serial killers driven by demons as dark as Jack the Ripper's to psychopaths with a penchant for gruesome displays of their victims, no evil is too sinister for the agents of Special X. At least, not yet. . . . This collection features the first four thrillers of the Special X series: Headhunter, Ripper, Bed of Nails, and Hangman Praise for the Special X series "Michael Slade's books are blood-chilling, spine-tingling, gut-wrenching, stomach-churning, and a much closer look at the inside of a maniac's brain than most people would find comfortable, but always riveting." -Diana Gabaldon, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of the Outlander series "Extraordinarily vivid. A thinking man's Texas Chainsaw Massacre." -The Vancouver Sun "Highly enjoyable." -Time Out, London "Slade knows psychos inside out." -Toronto Star "A get-under-your-skin thriller with machine-gun dialogue and impressive real-world research. It's one heck of a ride." -CNN.com "As always with Slade, a cracking good detective story." -Anne Perry, New York Times-bestselling author of the Thomas Pitt series "Murder with gore galore, and a killer who enjoys his hobby." -The Globe and Mail (Toronto) "Michael Slade is a writer who clearly knows how to tell a story and make it real." -Robert McCammon, New York Times-bestselling author of Swan Song and the Matthew Corbett series
