Cupid — Robert Sims Reid

Detective Leo Banks works crimes against persons: from rape to homicides to nickel-and-dime fistfights. But in the relative peace of Rozette, Montana, he rarely works overtime -- until now....

It's been nearly fifteen years since Banks felt the white-hot steel of Sky King Hudson's knife as it plunged into his back -- not long enough to dim the memory of the sudden, crippling pain and the stench of his own fear. So when Hudson's bullet-ridden body is discovered in a run-down area of Rozette, Banks can't entirely blame the shooter, even if he has to track him down.

Two weeks later, Banks wants blood. That's when the second victim is found, partially buried in a quiet park, her once-beautiful body a mass of rotting flesh and bone. Her killer drilled her through the heart like Cupid with a black graphite arrow. That brings the body count to two, and it promises to keep rising in a case that involves sex, the Feds, old debts, and millions of dollars -- a case that can only end as violently as it began.
