Este es un libro sorprendente por varias razones: pocas primeras novelas han concitado tan unánimamente el elogio del público y la crítica; pocas han llevado el dilema de sus protagonistas a cotas de suspense tan abrumadoras; y pocas han sabido reflejar al mismo tiempo los abismos de la depravación y el horizonte de la dignidad personal. La historia se abre con una escena de violencia salvaje: el armonioso mundo de Paul Garret y su esposa Emily es brutalmente destruido por un joven excursionista que se acerca a su casa de campo para llenar la cantimplora y acaba violando y matando a Emily. A partir de entonces Paul sólo tiene una obsesión: encontrar a William Meade, el hombre que ha convertido su vida en una pesadilla. Sin embargo, Meade, un psicópata criminal de pasmosa inteligencia que a su paso va dejando un sinuoso rastro de sangre, acepta complacido el reto de Garret y está dispuesto a llegar hasta el final... Thriller de insólita intensidad psicológica, Impulso asesino fascina hasta la última página y mueve a una inquietante reflexión acerca de los límites entre cordura y locura, entre instinto de supervivencia e instinto criminal.
