The Specialist The Specialist is a serial killer with very specific and unique tastes. He especially likes the flavor of innocent female bicycle tourists. Kirsten is a jewellery designer whose hobby is caving, and she carries a lot of emotional baggage, above-ground or in the bowels of the earth. Her sister Emma goes missing en route to visit Kirsten. Then Emma's Kirsten-designed ring mysteriously turns up in a newly discovered cave on Vancouver Island. This cannot be and should not be, but Kirsten knows it to be true because she found the ring herself!

Now she must solve the riddle of an apparent impossibility, with the help of a few old friends and one deliciously tempting new one. Kirsten wants answers. The Specialist wants her to join him for dinner.

Critical Acclaim for The Specialist

"Good writing, powerful suspense, a unique setting, and characters you care about put THE SPECIALIST in the top rank of current thrillers." — Bill Crider

"Aalborg, a veteran Australian author, hits the creepy jackpot with his villain, a transcontinental Hannibal Lector wannabe with an appetite for the well-muscled thighs of comely female cyclists. Masterfully, within the context of the horror, Aalborg also creates a mystery with a least three possible culprits among Kirsten's circle of friends. Genuinely creepy and a damn good read." — Wes Lukowsky: Booklist
