Show Of Evil
(William Diehl)
Martin Vail returns, this time having switched sides in the courtroom.
Now a prosecutor, it is an old case that will trouble him the most.
Specifically, the case of Aaron Stampler. Haunted by his own part in
the cruel and sadistic game played by Stampler against the legal system
and with the knowledge that he was but a mere pawn in that game,
Stampler recieves word about the the death of Linda, Stampler's old
girlfriend and is soon set to visit Daisyland, the mental institution
that currently houses him.
There, Vail faces off against an all new adversary although one who on
first appearance would seem to be anything but. His name he claims is
Raymond Vulpes although when Martin Vail looks at him, all he sees is
Stampler in yet another disguise. Those in charge of his treatment tell
him that Vulpes is what is known in the trade as an emerging
personality, someone that Aaron Stampler created to help him deal with
the trauma of his past. But Vail is skeptical and believes the young
man is simply up to his old tricks again when he hears the
spine-chilling news that Stampler/Vulpes is to be released back into
society. Stampler of course has ideas of his own. The years spent in
isolation at Daisyland have crystallised the plan of vengeance formed
in his mind against those who were directly responsible for putting him
there. And there is growing evidence to suggest that Stampler is not
acting alone. To defeat him, Vail must once more look into the abyss
that is the young man's mind. He's going to need all his wits
andresources in this new thriller from distinguished and celebrated
author William Diehl. Show of Evil is the second part in the Primal
Fear trilogy and is not only a brilliant continuation of a story that
in film version launched the career of Edward Norton as the evil
Stampler but is also a great chance to catch up again with the cynical
Martin Vail and the brilliant but murderous and truly evil Aaron
Stampler (Hannibal Lecter has nothing on this guy in terms of wits).
