"First rate suspense, with a soupcon of horror in the Hannibal Lecter vein . . . You won't be disappointed." —Stephen King
In the summer of Star Wars and Son of Sam, a Long Island schoolgirl is found gruesomely murdered. A local prosecutor turns a troubled teenager known as JT from a suspect to a star witness in the case, putting away a high school football star who claimed to be innocent.
Forty years later, JT has risen to chief of police, but there's a trail of a dozen dead women that reaches from Brooklyn across Long Island, along the Sunrise Highway, and it's possible that his actions actually enabled a killer. That's when Lourdes Robles, a relentless young Latina detective for the NYPD, steps in to track the serial killer. She discovers a deep and sinister web of connections between the victims and some of the most powerful political figures in the region, including JT himself. Now Lourdes not only has to catch a killer, but maybe dismantle an entire system that's protected him, possibly at the cost of her own life.
"One of the most memorable psychopaths since Hannibal Lecter." — Washington Post
"Excellent . . . A page-turner of the highest order." — Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"The prose is economical and precise, the setting well drawn and the characters real enough to give you a chill the next time you cruise past a police car." — Associated Press
"A highly readable and unnervingly close-to-home view of power in the service of evil." — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Nifty . . . Blauner keeps a tight focus on his regional setting." — New York Times Book Review
