Sometimes I wonder where an author has been all my reading life. How could I have missed an exceptional one like Ted Dekker, who’s written 23 novels? I’m just glad I found him now, though, so I can look for his name on bookstore shelves in the future.

Two years ago, a serial killer that the press dubbed BoneMan abducted six young girls, hoping that one of them would make the perfect daughter. When they disappointed him, he broke their bones without breaking the skin and left them to bleed to death internally. The police thought they’d caught the right man, but had they? Once the man they convicted of BoneMan’s crimes is released from prison on a technicality, another girl is abducted.

Intelligence Officer Ryan Evans returns from Iraq with emotional scars, due to his capture by insurgents who wanted him to give up his wife and daughter’s address. When he refused, they forced him to watch as they broke the bones of little children. He eventually escaped, but the experience left his state-of-mind in a mess.

Once he’s back home, Ryan’s unfaithful wife demands a divorce, and his daughter, Bethany, hates him because he’s never been there for her. His anguish increases when BoneMan abducts Bethany and gives Ryan seven days to find her. The police suspect that Ryan took his own daughter—and the hunter soon becomes the hunted.

Raw, emotional, and genuine, BoneMan’s Daughters sends you on a rollercoaster ride, leaving you breathless and flat-out horrified. These characters have major flaws—but in a good way. I wanted to slap (or at least give a good shaking to) all of the characters at one time or another. Ryan Evans, most of all, hits you where it hurts. One minute he’s going strong, and the next he’s doing something stupid while falling apart emotionally. It’s truly painful to read.

BoneMan’s Daughters reaches into the very depths of human depravity, dredging out the ugly and horrifying corners of a person’s mind—for both the good guys and the bad guys. It asks the age-old question: how far are you willing to go to save someone you love, to exact revenge, or to get what you want? Trust me; it’s not as black-and-white as you might think.

With heart-pounding, action-packed scenes and emotional depth, BoneMan’s Daughters throws you into a battle between good and evil. As the plot thickens with unforeseen developments, you’re never quite sure who will win, and you’ll brace yourself for the worst.

Looking for a thriller with more meat and a whole lot of bite? Then Ted Dekker’s BoneMan’s Daughter is the perfect choice.
