The vigilante killer of Los Angeles has returned—his gruesome murders targeting child predators who thought they’d escaped justice. As the body count rises, the public whispers of a hero. But veteran detective Patty Nunez sees something else: a man consumed by the very darkness he seeks to destroy.
Partnered with rookie Cam Sterling and burdened by her past, Nunez must navigate media frenzies, political interference, and a dangerously egotistical FBI profiler. But as the case tightens, every player—killer and cop alike—will be forced to answer a haunting question:
It takes a monster to catch a monster.
Praying for a Monster is a gritty, soul-searching thriller where the line between vengeance and virtue blurs beyond recognition.
Ryan Peters’ memories and the accumulation of unspeakable horrors inflicted upon innocent children, along with his best friend’s suicide, bungling bureaucrats, and the dark web filled with insidious deeds, push him into becoming California’s most prolific serial killer. His plan to finish his mission before it finishes him is complicated by his mother’s dementia and the desire to rekindle his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, Tiffany. Ryan’s fractured conscience causes him to make mistakes.
It is exactly one year since LA Detective Patty Nunez investigated the signature murders of the ‘Demon Dentist.’ The killer sends the homicide team indisputable evidence of the pedophile’s guilt and how he kills them. Twelve victims in two years, and now it begins again. Quotations left at the crime scene contain a carefully crafted message. Nunez’s drug and alcohol abuse, guilt for giving away her child for adoption, angry rookie Cam Sterling, and interference from an FBI profiler make the investigation increasingly difficult.
The ‘Demon Dentist’ chances upon the very thing he is attempting to eradicate – as events spiral out of control, he reveals his identity and shares the dreadful events that gave rise to his becoming. Who in their right mind would defend a serial killer? Everyone faces morally difficult judgment calls, where loyalty and love decide the outcome in a showdown nobody imagined possible.
