Synopsis

Jack Cole trabaja para el FBI. Su especialidad es descifrar la personalidad y el modus operandi de los asesinos más terroríficos gracias a sus capacidades extremas de observación, a su memoria «eldética».Jack reconstruye los detalles relacio- nados con el crimen observando la escena y los cadáveres. Cuando su padre, un importante pintor americano enfermo de Alzheimer, está a punto de morir en un accidente, Jake se ve obligado a regresar a casa y enfrentarse a su pasado.En Montauk, el sheriff local, Dan Hauser, pide ayuda a Jake para resolver un horrible asesinato, el desollamiento de una madre anónima y su hijo, crimen que recuerda muchísimo al de la madre de Jake.Pronto se descubren otros crímenes con idénticas características. Durante una breve visita a la casa de su padre, la esposa y el hijo de Jake desaparecen sin dejar rastro. Jake está desesperado, con el tiempo en su contra, pensando que el asesino puede estar a punto de matar y torturar a su esposa y a su hijo.

FBI contractor Jake Cole deciphers the language of murderers by reconstructing three-dimensional crime scene models in his head, a talent that has left his nerves frayed and his psyche fragile. Jake returns to Montauk, New York, for the first time in a quarter of a century when his father, a renowned painter, lights himself ablaze and crashes through a plate-glass window. Once home, Jake is pulled into a gruesome local homicide investigation that echoes his mother’s murder three decades earlier.As he sifts through the detritus of his father’s madness, Jake discovers thousands of seemingly meaningless paintings stacked in the studio – a bizarre trail of dust-covered breadcrumbs the painter left as he tumbled down the rabbit hole of dementia.Breadcrumbs that Jake believes lead to the killer.With the help of Sheriff Dan Hauser – a man scrambling to prepare the seaside community for the arrival of a catastrophic hurricane – Jake Cole sets out to find the seemingly unstoppable force of malevolence known as the Bloodman.A unique and disquieting thriller that redefines the genre, Bloodman will leave you reeling long after its operatic finale.
