Before The Scent of Death, there was another story.
A story in which the battle between good and evil first began to take shape-and left behind a scar that could never heal.
That is where the crack in Nestor's soul was born. The wound that pushed him, step by step, toward the path of a serial killer.
Even before he became the Nestor we know, he already carried the seed of something dark inside him. But it was not a simple fall from grace or a random twist of fate. It was a violent, disturbing, emotionally devastating story-one of those stories that permanently shatters the boundaries of sanity and leaves its mark on police reports... and on the people who survive it.
To understand the monster, you first have to look at the man he once was. And above all, at the relationship that defined his life: a woman who caused a true rupture within him and helped shape the mind of the future killer.
Nestor is a dark psychological thriller and essential reading for anyone who wants to discover the origin of the most disturbing character in the series. An intense, violent, addictive novel where the past does not explain the horror-it foreshadows it.
If you are drawn to stories about the birth of evil, relationships that destroy people from the inside out, and broken characters who eventually cross the line, this book is for you.
