Excellent read! Plot takes place in Las Vegas with Detective Sergeant Romuolus Poe (and his brother and mother!). I loved this book because of the wild twist toward the middle of the book.

Worst book I have EVER read. I am not kidding. Truly AWFUL!!!

This is the first of Faye Kellerman's books that I have read and I really enjoyed it, but it isn't one of her Peter Decker Rina Lazarus novels. This one is about Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe.

In the bleak wasteland of the Nevada desert, not far from the sparkling 24-hour neon of the world famous Las Vegas Strip, the body of a once-beautiful showgirl is discovered, horribly mauled and mutilated. It is a horrendous crime, shocking in it's brutality, excessive even for a city celebrated for its excess. Seasoned police veteran and Vegas native Detective Sergeant Romulus Poe has seen his fair share of depravity in this mecca of glitz and vice. But there is something about this ufortunate young woman's death---and a similar murder that is to follow soon after---that harkens back to an unsolved slaying and so-called suicide a quarter century ago. The grim similarities---along with some frightening new possibilites--are leading Poe into a night world of dark shadows best left unilluminated...and pulling the inquisitive policeman toward secrets from a strange and sordid past that could destroy those closest to him, and drag him over the edge.

The ending is not what you might expect!!
