Story
There’s a twisted serial killer stalking the streets of New York City, dealing his own perverse version of justice. He kills swiftly and silently, leaving his calling card - a red "J" - on the bodies of his prey. His victims have one thing in common: They’ve all been jurors in the city’s most infamous cases - cases in which the killer was found "not guilty". Overnight, the Justice Killer has the city in a stranglehold. And there’s only one man who has a shot at finding him....

That way. It’s such a simple request that Nate doesn’t think twice about turning down the path Liz suggests. But when he finds the body, he realizes he should have known better. Liz has the habit of pointing him toward those who need his help, even if they're no longer living. His deceased girlfriend isn’t the only one pushing him to solve the woman’s murder. After his best friend Jar discovers the woman’s true identity, she insists they need to investigate. Nate is not as sure. The police are on the case, after all, and if he and Jar intervene, they'd only get in the way.

Suspenseful
I had previously listened to and really enjoyed Lutz's "The Night Spider." I enjoyed "The Night Caller" as well. I liked, related to and sympathized with the main character - Lutz has a great writing style. The plot was also suspenseful - I listened to the entire book very quickly. I took off only one star - because the killer in the book seemed to echo the killer from "The Night Spider" a bit too much for me. Oh - and don't forget Scott Brick, who is one of the best readers period.

Older Lutz but still a good one...
This is an older John Lutz book but still very very good. In my opinion it is made even better with the narrating done by Scott Brick.
The one thing I noticed about the book that I thought was kind of dating is NO CELL PHONES! How bizarre how that has become what tells the reader if a book is current.
Anyway, this is a very suspenseful book. The protagonist is an ex cop (Ezekiel Cooper). He had cancer which is in remission and he tentatively looks to his future with apprehension until his only daughter is the victim of a serial killer. After that most, not all caution is thrown aside while he looks for the person who took his daughter. Along the way he meets others whose friends or relatives are also taken from them. I mention this only because one of them has a major impact on his life and future. The killer is a real mystery and you don't find out the who and why until almost the end. At one point even Cooper is framed. It's a definite edge of the seat book.
This and all the rest in the Night series (including Night Spider and Chill of Night) are excellent books.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Disappointed
I have read other books by this author and I really like the Frank Quinn series. But this book was well below those. I found the characters unlikable, Cooper continues to deal with the miserable female characters His ex is a complete nutcase the writer and the editor only care about the book not about the murders, or Coopers loss of his daughter. I just don't see how they added to the story to me they were useless characters that almost had me not finishing.

Good story – terrible narrator
I really liked this book. At least I really liked the story, but it was really hard to stay focused on the writing what with the narrator, Scott Brick, treating every sentence as a dramatic reading. I had to keep backing up to re-hear passages since in my annoyance I would start thinking of how a normal person would narrate it. What a Drama Queen he is. Author and story were great though. I would have given more stars if it were a better narrator
