In this latest book from bestselling author John Verdon, innovative problem solver Dave Gurney places underneath the magnifier a notorious serial murder case – one whose reasons have now been enshrined as law-enforcement dogma - and finds that everybody has it wrong. The most embellished homicide investigator in NYPD history, Dave Gurney continues to be attempting to adapt to his existence of quasi-pension in upstate Ny whenever a young lady who's creating a documentary on the notorious killing spree attempts his counsel.  Right after, Gurney starts experience endangered: a razor-sharp hunting arrow lands in his garden, and he barely escapes severe Damage in a booby-trapped basement.  As issues develop more weird, he discovers herself re-examining the case of The Great Shepherd, which 10 years before concerned a number of roadside shootings and a rage-against-the-rich manifesto.  The murders stopped, and a conspiracy of evaluation was raised round the case using a consensus viewpoint that no one could imagine challenging  -- no one, that's, but Dave Gurney.   Mocked actually by some who’d been his followers in prior inspections, Dave understands that the monster is too intelligent to actually be found.  The only real range that could make sense can also be the absolute most Harmful – to create herself a goal and obtain the monster to come quickly to him. To endure, Gurney should depend on three partners: his precious wife Madeleine, remarkably spontaneous and a beacon of light in the gathering night; his de-facto undercover “partner” Port Hardwick, usually prepared to throw in authority’s encounter but clever when it matters; and his son Kyle, who has return into Gurney’s existence with astonishing power, love and loyalty. Displaying all of the hallmarks which is why the Dave Gurney sequence is praised -- well-etched characters, deft dark laughter, and innovative reduction that leads to a climactic showdown – Allow the Demon Rest is something more: a memory of the ability of self-perception in a global which has not enough of it.
