Synopsis

Tim Hess is a semiretired veteran cop staring at a death sentence-his own. Detective Merci Rayborn, young enough to be his daughter, is brash, impatient, and not someone from whom Hess wants to be taking orders. He certainly isn’t planning on falling in love with her… Together they must track down a psychopathic killer who’s been abducting beautiful young women from the malls of Orange County. Dubbed the “Purse Snatcher” for the chilling way he brags about his shockingly distinctive crimes, he is one of T. Jefferson Parker’s most original creations. “Ingenious, intricate, complicated yet credible, a real page-turner. There are leaks, leads, false leads, and an express train of an ending. Within the crackling tale, a quieter current carries an unforeseen and ill-starred love affair. A man much praised doesn’t need more encomiums; T. Jefferson Parker deserves all he gets.” -Los Angeles Times. “One of Parker’s best-and that’s a major statement considering his track record.” -Chicago Tribune

On the other hand, when it's a keeper, there's joy in Mudville (make t......more

Goodreads review by Una

A sleepy investigation that takes the long route to solution. The plot had twists and the writing was clean. There is a faint memory of hearing the story before. There were several exceptional views on the relationships between men and women. Overall, the book left me feeling empty.......more

Goodreads review by Lukasz

"He lay still and remembered fishing with his uncles, his dad making pancakes on Sunday mornings, the creases on the back of his mother's blouse as she walked, Barbara's expression as she came down the aisle in the church where they were married, his first dog, what the world looked like from the ta......more
