The Assassin J Lance Erikson

A serial killer is terrorizing the San Francisco Peninsula. Each of his victims is male, in his late teens or early twenties, strong and muscular. Despite each victim's obvious size and strength, none is apparently able to mount any defense to the vicious killings which leave each one with a crushed skull and a foreign object stuck into his right eye socket. Unable to apprehend the killer, or even to find an evidence trail to follow, the authorities engage the services of Doctor Barbara Dean, a psychologist and noted profiler, to help them define and focus their search. Because of the age of the victims and the fact that three were university students, Doctor Deanbelieves the killer is also a student attending one of the Bay Area colleges or universities. After a series of what appear to be random, opportunistic killings, Doctor Dean believes the killer is now focused on a particular target, most likely a fellow student. Seven young me are dead, viciously murdered. Can the serial killer be stopped before he kills the target he has now identified?
