In a picturesque southern California beach community, a brutal serial killer is on the loose. His only victims are beautiful young women. His only adversaries are two cops haunted by problems of their own: the tough Tim Hess who is batting a life threatening illness, and the brash Merci Rayborn who has a rep for causing trouble. Now this unlikely team must put aside their personal issues to stop a ruthless madman before he strikes again. From The Triggerman's Dance to the Los Angeles Times bestseller, Where Serpents Lie, T. Jefferson Parker has mesmerized readers and critics alike. Now the "ace suspense writer" (Chicago Tribune) returns with an intricately plotted, stunningly suspenseful novel sure to please both old and new fans.
This is the first in the Merci Rayborn series. Tim Hess is a retired cop who's hired to work with Detective Rayborn to find a serial killer. There are some kind of half-baked plot things going on here that were not too satisfying but over all it was ok. ( )
First class crime fiction. Would have given it a full five star rating except for those eleven paragraphs. I will say only that they are consecutive. If you have a search in mind as you pick up the book it shouldn't be hard to find them. Or to enjoy the story. Mr. T Jefferson Parker is one helluva writer. ( )
The Blue Hour. T. Jefferson Parker. 1999. I have seen this author’s books for years in libraries and book stores but this is the first Parker I have read and it won’t be the last. Tim Hess, a retired detective who is battling lung cancer, is called by into service by the sheriff to help identify a serial killer. He is paired with Merci Rayborn, a young female detective who has chip on her shoulder and who is determined to make a name for herself. At first there are no bodies, no clothes, and no bones, just blood and purses. Hess brings the experience to the case that Merci lacks and Merci brings energy and determination. They gradually begin to trust each other as they search for a truly vicious murderer in the woods and malls of California. This is not for the fainthearted. Parker is an excellent writer and I’ll read more of his works. This is the first of a series of novels featuring Merci Rayborn. ( )
