him Mr Candid. And he is extremely dangerous.A dark and deeply moving psychological tale about a serial killer with the
brain of a genius and a heart of gold 'He's responsible for the deaths of many

fundamentally a good person. Sounds crazy doesn't it? How can he be a good
person? He's a serial killer' For seventeen years the FBI have been hunting
down a killer. For seventeen years he has rid America of its scum. To many he
doesn't even exist; he is just a ghost. They call him Mr Candid. And he is
extremely dangerous. Brought into a life of privilege and wealth on America's
East Coast, Charlie Kane was a child prodigy. Reading the New York Times at the

world. Until one Thanksgiving, seventeen years ago, when Charlie and the entire
Kane family all but vanished.
