BONEMAN'S DAUGHTERS

Robert Petkoff masterfully portrays intelligence officer Ryan Evans's personality change after he experiences torture in the Middle East. Upon his return home, his daughter is kidnapped by the BoneMan, a serial killer who breaks all the bones of his child victims before killing them. Evans’s personal experience with torture techniques makes him the FBI’s primary suspect. Petkoff's versatile vocal skills deliver a compelling plot that is classic Dekker. In particular, Petkoff’s depiction of the insane workings of the serial killer’s mind is riveting. The substance of this story is raw and the scenes of torture unsettling, but the accounts of violence are suggestive, not graphic. G.D.W. © AudioFile 2009, Portland, Maine [Published: APRIL 2009]
