He claims Frankenstein is still alive in New Orleans, also known as Victor Helios, who presents as a city benefactor. He claims to be more than two centuries old, assembled from body parts, brought to life in a lightning strike–by Victor Frankenstein. He moves with lightning quickness, practicing an unusual sleight of hand, and tattooed on one side of his face, concealing extensive scars. He has come to New Orleans from a monastery abroad, ostensibly the inheritor of a theater. Carson’s first hint is a mysterious visitor, Deucalion. The fortress is an image, a warning that there is indeed danger afoot, far worse than just a serial killer. Carson also has charge of her autistic younger brother Arnie, building a castle fortress in his room. Maddison is her complement–utterly loyal as a partner, always able to deprecate both himself and Carson in a way that keeps it real. She is intense, hard-driving both inside a car and out. Detective partners Carson O’Connor and Michael Maddison are leading the investigation. A few men have also died, with internal organs surgically removed. A number of women have turned up dead–missing one part of their bodies–feet, hands, ears, lips surgically removed–you get the idea. Summary: A serial murderer is loose in New Orleans, and something far worse that two detectives begin to unravel, helped by a mysterious, tattooed figure by the name of Deucalion.Ī serial murderer is on the loose in New Orleans. Prodigal Son (Frankenstein Book One), Dean Koontz.
