They call him BoneMan, a serial killer who’s abducted six young women. He’s the perfect father looking for the perfect daughter, and when his victims fail to meet his lofty expectations, he kills them by breaking their bones and leaving them to die.
Intelligence officer Ryan Evans, on the other hand, has lost all hope of ever being the perfect father. His daughter and wife have written him out of their lives.
Everything changes when BoneMan takes Ryan’s estranged daughter, Bethany, as his seventh victim. Ryan goes after BoneMan on his own.
But the FBI sees it differently. New evidence points to the suspicion that Ryan is BoneMan. Now the hunter is the hunted, and in the end, only one father will stand.

Summary
From: Isaac
Book Title: BoneMan’s Daughter
Book Author: Ted Dekker
What do you like about this book:
Dekker's classic serial-killer genre shines in this novel like it does in all the rest of them. But, personally, I found this one difficult to get into. Dark violence and sexual tension also deprive this book of my acclaim. If you truly desire to see Ted Dekker execute a flawless story with brilliant professionalism, read Thr3e.
Sexual Content: Bethany is a young fashion model, and, even though she does not model anything revealing, they do believe that her beauty was the reason she was captured. BoneMan is suspected of raping his victims. Bethany knows this and will do anything, even seduce him into letting her live. She does. Just after her intentions were made clear, BoneMan turned down her pursuits. While his daughter's in captivity, Ryan is filled with the terrifying thought that she is being sexually abused. Although, there is no sex, the book his heavy with sexual tension.
Violence: One of his more violent stories. BoneMan is known for breaking every bone in his victims' (which are all young girls) body before killing them. One of these scenes is described with graphic and disturbing detail. People fight and shoot at one another, blood is prominent. Bethany cuts her arm intentionally while in captivity.
Language: “P-ss” is used twice.
Drug/Alcohol: A couple drinks wine at dinner.
