THE
BRIDE COLLECTOR: A Novel
With more than four million copies of his books sold worldwide, Ted Dekker has earned his place as a “true master of thrillers” (Nelson DeMille), and a peer of “Stephen King or Dean Koontz – with a spiritual twist” (Austin American Statesman). Dekker began his career writing spiritual novels, but has since catapulted into mainstream fiction with his psychological suspense thrillers, Adam, Thr3e, Skin, Obsessed, and BoneMan’s Daughters, which debuted at #10 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list. Readers of all ages, backgrounds, and belief systems love his fiction because he offers, as he says, pure escapism with inescapable truths, in which he often mines humanity’s ongoing struggle with evil. Dekker was born to missionaries and grew up among cannibals of Indonesia, and his peculiar upbringing gives him a unique perspective outside the cultural bubble, allowing him the freedom to share provocative insights in his fiction.
THE BRIDE COLLECTOR explores the blurred lines between sanity and madness, right and wrong, and good and evil. FBI Special Agent Brad Raines is chasing a Denver serial killer who believes he is acting as an emissary of God, sacrificing beautiful women and leaving them posed with bridal veils. Raines looks for answers in an unusual place -- a private psychiatric institution for mentally ill people who are extraordinarily gifted. There he meets a quirky cast of characters who could help him stop the Bride Collector before it’s too late. Dazzling, thought-provoking, and compulsively readable, THE BRIDE COLLECTOR is an engrossing blend of suspense and horror with universal and relatable themes of friendship, trust, faith and love. |
