A brutally disfigured woman is fished from the waters down in Florida, an apparent torture/murder victim. The Psycho Squad contacts the local police connects the death to a similar body found in California, and arrive on the scene to assist in the manhunt. Things escalate quickly (very quickly) as Mace, Flint, and Santiago become entangled in a web of prostitution, blackmail, gun trafficking, and yes, more torture. With main characters being kidnapped, interrogated, ambushed, and otherwise assaulted at least once per chapter, and the scope of involved parties growing to include warring drug cartels, third world crime lords, and covert intelligence operatives bearing a striking resemblance to the Delaney character from the Burt Reynolds film Malone, the idea of hunting serial killers seems to get lost among the setup for a compound raid finale that would make Mack Bolan proud. The novel eventually resorts to occasionally reminding the reader, in between picking up an assortment of attractive/comic relief characters, that there's a serial killer involved in all of this somehow.

When all is said and done, Psycho Squad #2 is a fun read full of all the guns and guts you'd expect from a potential adventure series, but the rapidly diminishing presence of the one aspect that promised to set this apart from the others, actual serial killer hunting, doesn't inspire enough regret that a third installment in the series never came to be.… (mais)
