Russian Hill by Ty Hutchinson

I read this book as part of a double-book by Ty Hutchinson - one Abby Kane book and one Sei Assassin book.

Russian Hill is an absorbing book about a murderous game that FBI Agent Abby Kane needs to join in order to solve. It is part 1 of the CC Trilogy and Book 3 in the Abby Kane Thriller Series.

The blurb says:

A killer is loose in San Francisco, and he’s collecting body parts. FBI Agent Abby Kane believes a dead hiker found ten miles north of the city is the key to solving those crimes.

The more Abby digs, the more she begins to think the killer is playing an elaborate game and there’s an audience cheering him on. But to catch the monster, she’ll have to join in his twisted game.

This book is definitely a thriller.  It is gruesome in places and there are sex scenes, so not suitable for younger readers, but as an adult reading this I couldn't put it down.  The plot is believable that it could actually happen, and you always want to try and solve the clues to see if you can predict and prevent the next murder from happening.  As I was reading, I imagined the killers to be like an older version of Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette in True Romance.

Ty Hutchinson certainly knows how to write to keep you involved and invested in the book.  The sequel went straight on my wishlist, as did the first two books in the series, and I couldn't wait to read the Sei Assassin book.
