      About This Book

      When a calypso singer and a prostitute are murdered with the same gun, Detectives Carella and Meyer descend into the murky world of sex and sadism to find a killer on the loose.

      "Imagine your favorite Law & Order cast solving fresh mysteries into infinity, with no re-runs, and you have some sense of McBain's grand, ongoing accomplishment." —Entertainment Weekly

      "McBain forces us to think twice about every character we meet…even those we thought we already knew." —New York Times Book Review
