Book Description:
Night Work
Kate and her partner, Al Hawkin, are called to a scene of carefully executed murder: the victim is a muscular man, handcuffed and strangled, a stun gun's faint burn on his chest and candy in his pocket. The likeliest person to want him dead, his often-abused wife, is meek and frail--and has an airtight alibi. Kate and Al are stumped, until a second body turns up--also zapped, cuffed, and strangled...and carrying a candy bar. This victim: a convicted rapist. As newspaper headlines speculate about vendetta killings, a third death draws Kate and Al into a network of pitiless destruction that reaches far beyond San Francisco, a modern-style hit list with shudderingly primal roots.

Bahati B. (Another Kate Martinelli mystery. Someone is convicting and executing rapists and child-molesters and Al and Kate have to unearth the vigilantes. The truth turns out to be far more complex than imagined and Kate must live with the consequences.
a good mystery, featuring and unusual detective . .. flashes of humor liven the book
Laurie R. King is one of my favorite authors. I love the Kate Martinelli Mystery books. One of the reviews call it a 'richly feminist book'
Jane J. (Laurie R. King is the best mystery writer going. I only wished she would write faster.
