Two up-and-coming NYPD detectives hunt the Break-In Killer in this chilling police procedural that takes readers deep into the heart of a major urban crime investigation and into the minds of both hunters and their prey.
"synopsis" may belong to another edition of this title.
NYPD detectives Belinda Moore and Pudge Pedersson are partners with decidedly differents agendas. She wants to retire soon with a good pension, and Pudge wants to get promoted. Both are good detectives, a quality that becomes obvious when they pull two seemingly disparate killings: a female street hooker and an upper-middle-class businesswoman. Their concerns of a serial killer fall on politically sensitized ears, but as the bodies continue to accumulate, Moore and Pedersson's superiors grudgingly form a task force. As the case progresses, so does the killer's depravity and cunning. Inflicting death is like no drug he's ever known; he'll either keep killing or die trying. Cray, a pseudonym for a "well-known mystery writer," will draw comparisons to Ed McBain. He has a similar sense of the street cop's ceaseless conflict between home and profession as well as the struggle to do a job well in a highly politicized environment. An outstanding procedural, both for its chilling portrayal of the killer's dementia and for its prickly view of a bureaucracy's painfully slow attempt to contend with it. Wes Lukowsky
