Synopsis

The daunting task that confronts Gurney, once the NYPD's top homicide cop: determining the guilt or innocence of a woman already convicted of shooting her charismatic politician husband. Gurney quickly finds himself waging a dangerous battle of wits with a thoroughly corrupt investigator, a disturbingly cordial mob boss, a gorgeous young temptress, and a bizarre assassin whose child-like appearance has earned him the nickname Peter Pan. Startling twists and turns occur in rapid-fire sequence, and soon Gurney is locked inside one of the darkest cases of his career - one in which multiple murders are merely the deceptive surface under which rests a scaffolding of pure evil. Beneath the tangle of poisonous lies, Gurney discovers that the truth is more shocking than anyone had imagined.

In my search to find a crime fiction series that might approach the quality of those penned by Michael Connelly, James Lee Burke, John Sandford and Donna Leon I’ve found myself steadily working my way through John Verdon’s books, featuring ex-NYPD homicide detective Dave Gurney. This is book 4 and I......more

Mejora con respecto al tercer libro de Verdon (Deja en paz al diablo) volviéndose a poner a la altura de los dos primeros. Gurney haciendo lo que mejor sabe hacer, el caso es muy potente y el asesino lo es aún más. Adictivo.......more

Goodreads review by Franco on January 30, 2015

Encima de la rosa, un ramillete posa, cenizas, cenizas, y todos caen.Es un libro descomunal. Mi caso favorito de mi detective favorito, David Gurney. Es sumamente enigmático y tiene un ritmo electrizante. Pistas, testimonios, hechos, secretos, y nada de eso concuerda; hasta se contradice......more

Goodreads review by Michael on October 08, 2019

"Peter Pan Must Die" is a hot mess of a book, well below expectations for this otherwise fine series by John Verdon. Mediocre writing, wooden dialogue, a lead character that spends about 400 pages going against his own investigatory principles, a secondary character reduced to a cartoon figure, and......more
