September Book: The Bone Parade by Mark Nykanen
Location: Mobtown Brewing

A thriller about a serial killer who creates art from his victims is "deeply unsettling and exciting—a testament to the author's skill as a storyteller" ( Booklist).
Ashley Stassler is not your average artist. He has been wildly praised for a series of bronze sculptures that group families together, depicting them in moments of excruciating physical and emotional pain—but the art world has no clue as to how he creates such authentic, gruesome, seemingly tortured human representations. He assigns each family a number, and now he's up to number nine. What's in store for family #9? Cruelty and savagery that you can't even imagine . . . The Bone Parade introduces a villain who is as methodical, calculating, and detached as any found in the best fiction. It's gripping. It's chilling. You might be too afraid to read on, but you'll never be able to tear your eyes away.
"A gruesome chiller that's an amalgamation of Red Dragon and The Silence of the Lambs." — Publishers Weekly
