James Patterson Trivia!
I’ve read Kiss the Girls by James Patterson and then I started to watch Dexter in television. Somehow I sense the similarities between them which I really loved the ways of posing the serial killers and their intelligence and perfectness of their murders. I ordered. Are there any other books or tv series (Like Death Note) of a mass murderer or serial killer is chasing by a genius? Please give your valuable suggestions. Thanks in advance.

If you haven’t read “Night Sins” and “Guilty as Sin” by Tami Hoag I suggest you pick them up. They represent the genre you are interested in. A made for television movie was done with one of them but it didn’t do the story justice. Film rarely translates a good story well, in my opinion.
