Book Description:
The international bestselling author of One Police Plaza and Black Sand presents "an exciting page-turner" (Chicago Tribune)
NYPD Detective Lieutenant John Vinda is a man who believes that exceptional circumstances require exceptional actions. And he's willing to bend the law to break the case of a psychopath roaming the streets who's already killed three young women.
Back cover:
A deserted street off Brooklyn's Flatbush Avenue... a park on Manhattan's posh Upper East Side... a dressing room in a crowded Fifty-seventh Street boutique. Three young women are found murdered, victims of a serial killer, the only apparent link between them the bizarre and brutal nature of their deaths. Heading up the investigations is NYPD Detective Lieutenatn John Vinda, a man who believes that exceptional circumstances require exceptional actions: He is willing to bend the law to break the case and bring down the psychopath roaming the city streets. But the ruthless woman-stalker is as elusive as he is brazen, killing with religious fervor and taunting his pursuers in the process. Vinda's investigation - and his career - hang by a single shocking thread tying the victim's together... a thread that had become a slow-burning fuse aimed straight at the heart of police headquarters.

Maryanne M. from WAPPINGERS FL, NY wrote on 1/21/2007...Exiciting page turner about a serial killer, a woman-stalker who is as ruthless as he is brazen. Good read!
Carol N. from JAMESTOWN, CA wrote on 12/26/2006...A very good police mystery. NYPD Det. Lt. Vinda has his own way of seeking the ruthless killer.
James M. from LAKE GROVE, NY wrote on 11/3/2006...As usual, Caunitz has done his homework. It's nasty, plausable, and realistic. If you are into police stories- read this one.
Cheryl (Toni) J. (Publishers Weekly
A steaming witch's brew of a tale about a serial killer bent on revenge against the entire New York City police force, Caunitz's ( One Police Plaza ) latest blockbuster recipe combines his lifetime of police work with a hint of Hollywood, a helping of women's rights, a bit of bombing, a touch of Transylvania and a pinch of S & M. After a second young black woman is found with her throat ripped out, the NYPD appoints rogue-male Lieutenant John Vinda to head up a task force. The subsequent murder of a white Sutton Place heiress belies a racial motive and prompts protests by angry women's groups, leading to the addition of two female detectives to the task force. The discovery of a fourth body by a famous movie star in the dressing room of a ritzy Fifth Avenue salon turns the case into a media circus. The lady cops pull off some outrageous interrogation techniques amid right-on characterizations of New York types. Never mind that the plot is a little contrived or that the cops have apparently gone through sensitivity training or that the ending may be unintentionally humorous--this book is great entertainment.
