'When the body of a young woman is discovered in a derelict cottage in Los Angeles, Robert Hunter is thrown into a nightmare case. The victim suffered a terrible death, and on the nape of her neck has been carved a strange double-cross: the signature of a psychopath known as the Crucifix Killer.'

Ok I get it now! The hype and the love for Chris Carter is huge and now in my opinion totally understandable and well deserved.
As others have mentioned a cross between the Saw movies and crime thrillers.  This book has fantastic characters alongside graphic and gory crime scenes.
I love the writing style and inhaled this book in one sitting I just could not put it down. 
Trying to limit myself to one Chris Carter book a month is going to be hard as I just want to go back to that world.
