Only when she reads further does she find clues to the identity of Chicago’s terrifying serial killer. Could it be the author, himself? Ellen will have to uncover the truth about her new boyfriend quickly if she doesn’t want to become the killer’s next victim.

Norman L. Rubenstein, SHROUD: The Quarterly Journal of Dark Fiction & Art

"Killer's Diary is an intense and compelling page-turner that will keep you guessing and engrossed from the first page to the novel's end. Those who enjoy psychological horror ala Thomas Harris' Silence of the Lambs will love Killer's Diary."

David Niall Wilson, former President of the Horror Writer’s Association and multiple recipient of the Bram Stoker Award

"What author Brian Pinkerton has done is to smoothly meld his story across genres, running it down several twisting alleys and managing, somehow, to have those alleys open back up onto the same street to converge in a very tight, very satisfying ending. VERY highly recommended."

Horror World on Vengeance

"Pinkerton has written a winner, a neatly packaged, taut-as-a-bowstring thriller that fans of Harlan Coben and John Grisham should swallow whole."
