    About this audiobook

    A stunning serial-killer novel from David Levien, featuring his acclaimed and indomitable investigator, Frank Behr . . . this is the bigger thriller we've been wanting for from Levien. A young woman's body is found on a side street in Indianapolis, horrifyingly arranged. Meanwhile, Frank Behr, who is down on his luck and virtually broke, takes on a no-win case to locate a single mother's wayward daughter who's been missing for months. Suddenly Behr feels the two cases may be connected, but he is years removed from his life as a legitimate police officer and has few friends left on the force. His relentless focus has always been his greatest strength . . . and his deepest flaw. As the death toll rises, it becomes clear Indianapolis has a serial killer in its midst . . . an invisible average Joe who passes beneath the radar but commits unspeakable acts. Frank Behr's pursuit will lead him to a dark place-and ultimately to a devastating decision from which he will not be able to turn back. Signature Kill is David Levien's most masterful novel yet-a book that will attract attention from a wider group of thriller fans.

      5 Thoughts:

      1. Book 1 in this series is good, book 2and 3 I struggled with, but this one is fantastic.
      2. Love the setting-Indianapolis-and the main character who manages to piss off everyone in his life.
      3. If this ever comes to the screen; The Rock should be Frank Behr.
      4. The ending, the last 30 pages are a killer. I need answers and book 5 ASAP!
      5. I really really like Mistretta. More of her please!

      Signature Kill by David Levien in the fourth in his Frank Behr series and the first I have read, but it will not be my last, as I plan start the series from the beginning, nothing is better than discovering a new masterful suspense/thriller author. Frank Behr is down on his luck and close to broke, and is working a no-win missing persons case when a young women is discovered murdered and hideously arranged on a side street in Indianapolis. Behr believes the two cases may be connected, however he has almost no friends left on the police force he was once apart of. As the body count increases, it is clear there is a serial killer on the loose and Behr relentlessly pursues the cases, but this time his greatest strength could prove devastating. Levien has crafted a powerful suspense thriller with a strong plot and unexpected twists and turns. His main character is well drawn out and while I could not put the book down, I kept wishing I had read the previous books; I personally wanted more insight into Behr’s life. Signature Kill definitely can be read as a standalone, I think the reader would benefit even more from reading the previous books, however Levien’s writing style and deeply suspenseful atmosphere with unexpected twists will keep readers new to his works riveted to the story. I highly recommend Signature Kill to readers who enjoy exceptional suspense thrillers.

      This was the first book i had read by this author. I usually don't care for books that switch back and forth between characters but David Levien managed to do this with an expert touch. The reader was never confused about who was narrating or what was taking place. The murders were slightly over kill for the most part and the descriptions were gruesome but you never, until the last chapter, knew who the killer was. The author had a good writing style and was very easy to read. I'll be finding more of this series.
    • 4/5
      It's probably true to say that this book reads a little like a movie or tv series and therefore no surprise to learn that the author David Levien is both a screenwriter and Director. This is the third book I have read starring PI Frank Behr ; ex cop now private eye, a real loner with a sad past, broken relations and a dead son. We now discover him in a relationship ( I use the term loosely) with Susan and a son they have together...Trevor (unusual to find anyone naming a son Trevor! and so great respect to Susan as my name is Trevor!) Frank spots a billboard, the originator is searching for her lost daughter Kendra Gibbons, and he decides to help, attracted by the large reward money on offer. This leads him into a cat and mouse game with the perpetrator as this psychopath continues to kidnap and torture, in the most horrific way, innocent young girls. Will Frank be able to bring the killer to justice and at the same time find some peace and reconciliation in his private life?David Levien's books are easy to read with a very uncomplicated singular plot which probably reflects on his movie and tv background. They are not works of great literary acclaim but this is not always a bad thing as we often read for fun and escapism. For me what really dragged this book up to a 4 star rating was the completely unexpected last few chapters and an ending which although may have been out of character for Frank Behr, surely asks a lot of questions about his own mental state? To say more might disclose the plot in what proved to be once again an enjoyable excursion into the curious, complicated and often violent world of PI F Behr.
    • 5/5
      This author is truly deranged. He gets inside the mind of a serial killer like no one I have ever read before. His main character is former cop Frank Behr, a likeable though deeply flawed individual, who takes on the case of a missing woman simply to make the reward money. Along the way, he discovers a serial killer is operating in his city’s midst and he expands his focus to take him down. He also screws up his personal life in a number of missteps. However, the ending is the best part of the book. (Kills killer so he no longer can enjoy reliving his kills in prison) While he does not end up with the reward money, he does end as a winner. I loved this book.

      I didn't know anything about this author or his works, and that was a mistake. I don't care for good ol' boy / good redneck stories. Didn't like it at all. Purely my fault, that.
