Reviews
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
