“Never Kill Anyone You Know” – Book Review
The author of this book is John Sandford, a suspense plot with a chilling thrill every minute you read it. Its all about a freak, intelligent, brutal serial killer who targets woman that suits his taste, raping them then stabbing them to death for fun. His name is Louis Vullion, he call himself “The Maddog”. He leaves no traces of evidence but a notes of his set of rules, One rule at a time: “Never kill anyone you know”, “ Never have a motive”, “never follow a discernible pattern”, “Never carry a weapon after It has been used”, “Isolate yourself from random discovery”, “Beware of leaving physical evidence” and there were more.
This maniac is very clever, He’s like a sheep on the outside, but on the inside, he’s a mad wolf waiting to trap his prey and eat it. No cops can stop him on his killing spree, it’s up to Minneapolis Police lieutenant Lucas Davenport who can stop him. They likely have the same mind, that’s why Lucas Davenport can track him. But the big difference is they are on opposite sides, Like Good and Evil. Although Lucas Davenport is corrupt sometimes, we all know that nobody is perfect.
Lucas Vullion or “The Maddog” purposely follows no set pattern. He has killed, among others, a real estate agent, a wheelchair-bound woman, and a hooker, and almost killed an artist. The Maddog is meticulous, he uses different brands of knives so that the police can’t trace him to any specific stores.
The Maddog chooses his victims month-to-month, Letting his hunger build before striking, He breaks into his victims’ homes to attack, knocking them out with a blow to the head. The Maddog really knows how to kill, After raping them, He stabs his victims under the breastbone until it penetrates to the heart. The Maddog has excellent killing instinct, every stab is a surgical incision that Lucas Davenport needs a doctor for it.
