Publisher Description
The #1 New York Times–bestselling author introduces readers to “a great detective, a detective’s detective,” New York cop Edward X. Delaney (Kirkus Reviews).
New York Police Department Captain Edward Delaney is called to the scene of a brutal murder. A Brooklyn councilman was struck from behind, the back of his skull punctured and crushed with an unknown weapon. The victim wasn’t robbed, and there’s no known motive. The commissioner appoints Delaney to head up a clandestine task force, but soon this effort ignites an internecine war of departmental backstabbing. Distracted by the serious illness of his wife, Barbara, Delaney begins his secret investigation. Then the killer claims another victim—slain in the exact same way, leaving the strange puncture wound. As more young men are found murdered, Delaney starts putting the pieces together. Soon, he’s faced with a cop’s dilemma: He knows who the killer is, but the man is untouchable. That’s when Delaney lays a trap to bring a monster to justice . . .
Customer Reviews
My favorite
Lawrence Sanders is one of my favorite authors. I am sooooooo happy to see his books available again. I'm going to down load them all so I'll never be without! If you do not know his work and you're looking for a place to start...I would recommend this one one (Frank Sinatra played the police detective in a movie adaptation of this series); if you'd like less intensity try the Timothy series (my personal favorite).
This book hits you hard
Such a good read there’s times where you can’t put the book down characterization is so deep once you’re done you’re going to think awhile
Love the Deadly Sin series
This summer is a great time to re-read the series. So happy to see it available through IBook store.
