Lethal City — Jeffrey Ames

IN THE STREETS...

A stolen BMW is recovered with a stash of cocaine, lurid photos--and a charred, dismembered body. Two three-time losers are ready to rat each other out--but Detective Benno, the new man on the Dallas Metro squad, knows they're both clueless about the corpse in the trunk.



IN THE SHADOWS...

He connects the victim to a secret circle of family depravity and sexual indiscretion--a mother and daughter who blur the lines between predator and prey. Are they innocent targets? Guilty avengers? Nothing has ever been proven. And a stone-cold killer is about to strike again.



IN THE HEART...

Detective Benno knows he's an outsider on a case that's about to blow wide open.

But if the truth is exposed now--a multiple murderer will go free.
