Mister Candid

by JulesHardy (Author)

Synopsis

'He's responsible for the deaths of many people. But everything I've learned about him makes me believe he's fundamentally a good person. Sounds crazy doesn't it? How can he be a good person?' For seventeen years the FBI have been hunting down a killer, a killer with a difference. His victims are the sickos the law couldn't touch. But are his actions those of a maniac or a saviour? And what happened to turn him into Mr Candid? Brought into a life of privilege and wealth on America's East Coast, Charlie Kane was a child prodigy. Reading the New York Times at the age of three, a mathematical genius at thirteen, this gentle, handsome boy went to Harvard University where he found the love of his life and a place in the world. Until one Thanksgiving, seventeen years ago, when Charlie and the entire Kane family all but vanished.

Media Reviews
A serial killer is on the loose, but not the usual breed. Urban myth whispers of a 'Mr. Candid, ' who, for the past 17 years, has been quietly and efficiently removing the parts of society that the law can't reach. In prose that is both graceful and hard-hitting, Jules Hardy plays across the fuzzy lines that separate good from bad deeds and morality from law. -- The Times
