In the second book from "The Ryder Quartet" the detectives pursue their target: a former cop turned vicious criminal. Careful work on ballistics and forensic evidence leads to high-octane action counterpointed by scenes of intense emotion among victims and their families, and warm camaraderie among the detectives. Drawing from the author's experience accompanying detectives to the front line of crime, on exhaustive interviews with forensic officers, and on research in the exact locations where the crimes occur, this crime thriller takes the reader further into the real world of dark crime in a region once described as the murder capital of the world.
