Few authors map the political minefields faced by cops on a high-profile case with more realism than Mahoney. In his fifth novel, [he] ups the ante considerably by including real-life lawmen as characters in a sizzling tale of a serial sex-murders case that spreads from California to Thailand. ... Mahoney weaves a brilliantly twisted plot that makes the most out of solid police work while tapping into extralegal sources to actually solve the case. Clues gleaned from around the world are braided into a noose of a denouement that will leave victims' rights advocates cheering and police procedural buffs smiling. Appartient à la série
In a secluded New York City park, a double homicide draws two detectives named McKenna. One is a legend; the other is a brilliant young investigator. Together, they are entering a case that will grow more bizarre and more horrifying with each new piece of shocking evidence... One of the victims was tied to a tree and slowly tortured to death. Veteran detective Tommy McKenna realizes that he has seen this killer's work before-eighteen years earlier... Tommy will get a second crack at his killer. Brian McKenna gets to work with a legend. And both men are setting in motion an investigation that will take them to California, Arizona, a Costa Rican mountaintop, and all the way to the Fare East. The two McKennas are on the trail of two human monsters who have been killing for two decades-and murder isn't even the worst of their crimes... Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

As the investigation proceeds, it becomes apparent the detectives are looking for two serial killers who are engaged in the production of snuff films. The chase leads all over the country in addition to Costa Rica, Thailand, Burma, and Barcelona.
It’s a well-done police procedural with lots of interesting investigatory detail and I do really hope (although I sincerely doubt) that the different police agencies here and abroad really do cooperate and get along and are all such nice guys as described in the book.. ( )
