ALL WRAPPED UP AND READY TO DIE
Each woman slept in her Manhattan high-rise, behind securely locked doors. Each was sealed alive in her bedsheets and stabbed repeatedly. Each bled to a slow end. Mouths frozen in silent screams tell little to retired NYPD Captain Thomas Horn and his detectives.
Even a vet like Horn is baffled. Nothing connects the slain women except cruel murder by a cunning intruder. Sparze clues point to a wall-crawling, glass-cutting predator who enters bedroom windows with calculated ease. But as the killer grows bolder, Horn's worst fears are about to come true. Because somewhere in the dark, the Night Spider prepares to take a new victim- and this one won't be a stranger. In a desperate race against time, Horn must snare a psychopath in his own tangled web... or die trying.

I've read this book through twice now, and I still find myself captivated with each new reading! But then I've always been a huge fan of Murder/Suspense/Mystery/Thriller novels. If any of the above information has caught your attention. Then I highly suggest you give this book a go! It's wonderful, and even if you only read it once, I'm sure you'll get joy out of that one time alone. It's a page turner, so hard to put down when you start reading. So don't start reading it unless you have a lot of time to devote to it!
Has anyone else already had the joy of reading this awesome novel, if so what are your thoughts, what were your favorite parts!? Oh, and if you're going to give away something major for the plot, be sure to mark it as a *SPOILER* so those who haven't read it yet, don't accidently read it and have the surprise ruined for them!

I found this discussion through a search for Jeffery Deaver, my favorite author. He gave that book a good review, and the description you posted sounds interesting and scary, so I may have to check this book out.
