THINNING THE PREDATORS by Daina Graziunas - FIRST EDITION BOOK

David Vandemark is nobody's victim - and an avenger like no one's ever seen. Years ago, he was robbed of everything he knew - his family, his identity, his very soul. He was also left with a strange gift, the power to read not just the minds of other people but their lives, their pasts, their desires. And burned into him was a new resolve: to stalk the human predators - drug dealers, child molesters, and serial killers - who threaten the innocent. To track his prey, Vandemark uses his psychic powers, shifting stealthily from one identity to another with each target. So far, he has claimed twenty victims. Now he is on the trail of the Latino Killer, a vicious psychopath who is butchering Hispanic families all across New York City, leaving terror in his wake. The only survivor of a family that has been destroyed in the madness, Angela Quinones is Vandemark's key to finding the monster. As they begin to fall in love, she becomes the key to much more than that, awakening the memory of who he once was and returning David Vandemark to the living even as the Latino Killer is mapping their deaths. Shadowing them all is federal agent Ira Levitt, who has followed Vandemark for seven years in what has been his most fascinating and frustrating case ever. Having guessed that the vigilante would hunt the Latino Killer, Levitt feels he is finally on the verge of catching his man. But when he senses that the Latino Family Murders conceal an evil more dangerous, more "civilized" than anything he's ever faced, he is confronted with an impossible dilemma: to close in on Vandemark or, risking everything, to join forces with him to bring down the Latino Killer and stop the bloodshed.
