Thorp's (Rainbow Drive, Ivy Bks., 1992) latest thriller is based on a series of unsolved killings during the 1980s in the Pacific Northwest's Green River area. Seattle detective Phil Boudreau, a tough, smart, steetwise vice cop, becomes obsessed with solving a series of grisly murders, the majority of which involve young female prostitutes and runaways. Written in terse but graphic prose, the novel provides in-depth views of a sociopathic mind and homoerotic relationships. Along the way, readers witness the character growth of Boudreau and his relationships with fellow police officers, including a developing love interest. This novel is not for the faint of heart, yet once readers become accustomed to the graphic prose, they may not be able to put River aside.
