BoneMan's Daughters

Ted Dekker's BoneMan's Daughters is about a serial killer looking for the perfect daughter. He kidnaps teenage girls and then kills them by breaking their bones when they fail to live up to his expectations.

The main character, Ryan, is an intelligence officer who is kidnapped while in Iraq. After he escapes from his captors, he returns stateside to face the challenges of an unforgiving family. However, when his estranged daughter is kidnapped by the real BoneMan, the hunt is on to find her before she is killed and he is sent to prison for the murders.

Like his other books, this one takes you through a series of twists and turns without knowing how it will end. Once you get past the first sentence, it is a good read. The words "might have begun" were unnecessary and confusing ... not how you want to start out reading a book. However, since I'm a big fan I continued reading and was soon lost in the story. I was also glad to see it in paperback. Most of the time Christian fiction is in hardback or a large paperback edition that costs a lot more. This one was affordable without having to head to the clearance rack.
