The Teacher - Robert Banfelder -ISBN 1-59466-077-2 Port Town Publishing
Synopsis: The American intelligence community is retooling, and so is the way in which Suffolk County"s commanding officer of homicide, Detective Lieutenant Theodore Groche, conducts day-to-day business. Earlier in time, covert operative, Justin Barnes, helped dismantle a global terrorist network and terminated its leader, serial killer Malcolm Columba. Two years have elapsed, and Columba"s prot g , Clarence Emery, known as The Teacher, has surfaced in New York City. This terrifying figure, who often befriends his victims before butchering them, prefers to get up close and very personal with his quarry. Consequently, every law enforcement agency in the country is on high alert. Sanctioned by hierarchy and shrouded in secrecy, Justin Barnes" mission is to hunt down and terminate Clarence Emery. But who is hunting whom? Justin and his beautiful associate, Jacqueline Rubino, ultimately ask themselves that same question when two women are found murdered at Pipes Cove in Greenport, Long Island-crimes that unquestionably have Emery"s signature. The Teacher can hardly wait to match wits with the black American maverick enforcer and Justin Barnes, in turn, obsesses on the moment when he and the madman will finally meet face-to-face. Hence, the game of cat and mouse begins.
NewBookReviews Review:
Robert Banfelder"s newest psychological thriller, The Teacher, involves a diabolical and cunning serial killer. Clarence Emery is described as the most prolific serial killer in history and this fictional character lives up to that and more as The Teacher . Banfelder"s ability to weave a complex plot with excellent characters, culminated into one of the best books I have read this year. His skillfully crafted story pulls the reader into an ever widening field of deception, death and destruction caused by Emery and his accomplices. Justin Barnes is a civilian working with the county homicide squad, in a position that is shrouded in secrecy , he carries a badge, but is any thing but a cop. His task is to track down and stop Emery as quickly as possible. The energy between these two characters is astounding. This is one of the best books I have read this year! Robert Banfelder is a masterful, storyteller, who has written a fantastic, and terrifying tale about evil and what it takes to stop it!
