The serial killer they thought was dead is back, and he's on a chilling spree that begins with the murder of his own sister in Florida, and continues throughout the country. He won't stop until he arrives at the FBI Behavioral Studies Unit, where he plans to teach them a lesson in criminal behavior that they'll never forget.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

The real-world backgrounds of renowned forensic psychologist Philpin and former private investigator Sierra shine through this sequel to The Prettiest Feathers. Narrated in three alternating voices?semiretired forensic scientist Lucas Frank; his NYPD detective daughter, Lane; and cunning murderer John Wolf?the thriller offers a scary glimpse into the mind of a man who kills for kicks. Philpin and Sierra intertwine a Cliffs Notes-like history of serial killers with a puzzling plot scattered with many dead bodies and culminating in a showdown between Wolf and his nemesis, Frank. This otherwise very satisfying and tense story is marred only by the book's abrupt ending.

An excellent thriller

Nobody has ever heard of Philpin but I rate him up there with Connelly, Patterson, and T. Jefferson. NONE of his books disappoint. Start at the first one and you'll read em all.

A superb literary act of symmetry.

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2001

A dead killer resurrected. An ex forensic psychiatrist who though he'd killed him. It is set in stone from the beginning that they must meet. John Philpin and Patricia Sierra team up to write this incredibly intense page-turning thriller. It's a murder mystery from the start, as Lucas Frank, ex homicide investigator, now retired, is shot in his home and left for dead. He doesn't die, and neither does his assassin, who turns out to be a man he was sure he had killed a year ago in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Lucas and his daughter Lane, now a homicide detective herself, must convince the FBI that John Wolf, infamous serial killer thought dead, actually survived a tragic explosion at his own home one year ago. The FBI is not buying it, and Wolf's victim count begins to accelerate at an alarming speed. Lucas Frank has studied and lived serial killers all his life. He is a legend at getting into the mind of killers, of thinking like they think, and being able to plan their next move as easily as they themselves do. Lucas Frank may have met his match in John Wolf. As the famous Dr. Frank searches for answers, the victim count rises, until Dr. Frank realizes that he himself may be the next victim. The clock races, the story unfolds with page after breathtaking page, and the killer wants vengeance.

WOLF HOWLING

Reviewed in the United States on April 3, 2001

The serial killer in this novel, originally introduced in "The Prettiest Feather" is named John Wolf, and boy is he one sick but intelligent individual. His cold, calculating approach to murder goes beyond what most of us have experienced in other serial killer novels.
Philpin and Sierra have given us a credible coda to the first book, bringing the notorious Wolf back in a highly believable manner. Matching the evil Wolf is the less than perfect hero, Lucas Frank. His understanding of the dark side of evil is enhanced by his own dark thoughts and obsession with solving murderous crimes.
The authors use effective narratives in the first person by Lucas, his daughter Lane, and Wolf. Much suspense and mystery are piled on throughout and the resolution, although a little quick, is satisfying.
A great entry in the serial killer genre.

sequel rivals the original for brilliance

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2003

In TUNNEL OF NIGHT, Philpin and Sierra have pulled off an amazing feat-- they have crafted a believable yet chilling sequel, and they have made it every bit as good as the original. No, on second thought, it is probably even better; this is the book Harris' HANNIBAL wanted to be. One reviewer faulted the book for its abrupt ending; I didn;t think that was a problem, though I did think that the shifting first-person POVs was a little annoying at times. Still, this is well worth hunting down and likely to shoot to the top of the list of your favorite crime novels.

Dead Serial Killer?

Reviewed in the United States on August 20, 2000

Serial killer John Wolf was dead or was clearly believed to be. A year after his death, former FBI agent Lucas Frank begins to suspect that Wolf is not only alive but he is perilously close. Authors John Philipin and Patricia Sierra have created fascinating characters here. The story has the reader traveling the country with Wolf and Frank as it reveals itself. A gripping mystery with fascinating information on the patterns of serial killers. Totally believable.

What is This?

Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2005

It's merely impossible for me to understand the very good rating of this book. This is why sometimes I simply ignore other readers opinion. I've read a lot of very good crime thrilers and this book definitely isn't one.

This is an amazing book!

Reviewed in the United States on July 28, 2000

It is rare, indeed, for a sequel to be better than the original book; Tunnel of Night is even better than the Prettiest Feathers! This writing team is superb--their style is unique, their plots and characters absolutely awesome. I can't wait for more stories from these two!
