Two perps—one a serial killer and the other a rapist who revisits his victims—test the limits of the 87th Precinct’s detectives as they race to catch these maniacs loose on the city’s streets.

“McBain has the ability to make every character believable—which few writers these days can do.” —Associated Press

“McBain forces us to think twice about every character we meet…even those we thought we already knew.” —New York Times Book Review
