A hotel ripper stalking New Yord's nightside with a swiss army knife. Retired cop named Edward X. Delaney is determined to catch the killer.
"Big time suspense...a first rate thriller...it is as good as you can get" ...... New York Times.
As a Lawrence Sanders fan - I found this one book a bit on the 'rough' side. He has written so many BETTER books.
Lawrence Sander's Deadly Sins series is EXCELLENT. I highly recommend the whole series for people who love a good suspense thriller. These books are hard to put down once you start. An oldie but a goodie!!

The author who forged the serial killer genre with The First Deadly Sin follows the chilling career of a murderer stalking in New York City's hotels and the quest of a retired policeman to stop him. Reissue.
