Nailbiter #1 upsetting, powerful, extraordinary
Nailbiter #1 is a conundrum. The reader is presented with a small town in Oregon, Buckaroo, which is the birthplace of no less than sixteen of the world’s most notorious serial killers and which is under investigation by an Army Intelligence officer who seems to be suffering from a psychotic breakdown of his own. One of the killers, the book’s namesake – The Nailbiter – was recently acquitted and has returned to his hometown.
