In Thomas H. Cook's Edgar Award-nominated first novel, a weary
detective tracks a blood-crazed psychopath Blood seeps into the
gutters at the children's zoo in Central Park. Two deer have been
slaughtered, one stabbed fifty-seven times and the other slashed
across the neck. Normally it would be a case for the Parks
Department, but these are no ordinary deer. The pride of the small
menagerie, they were given to the zoo by a prominent socialite who
cannot afford bloody headlines. The NYPD hands the case to
Detective Reardon, star of the homicide squad. A recent widower at
fifty-six, Reardon has seen too many human victims to care much
about the two butchered animals. He resents being taken off other
pressing cases for the sake of politics, but soon another killing
snaps him to attention. Two women are found dead in their
apartment, one stabbed fifty-seven times and the other with her
throat cut. Surely this vicious parallel isn't a coincidence....
