    About this audiobook

    From William J. Caunitz, the New York Times best-selling author of Chains of Command and Pigtown, comes a gripping tale of lawbreakers and law benders in the Big Apple. A madman is loose in New York, leaving a trail of slain women in his wake. With each new victim, the appetite of the media grows, until a full-fledged feeding frenzy is underway. Even more treacherous, a tragedy from the killer's past has him bent on revenge against the entire city police force. Enter Detective John Vinda--one cop who doesn't mind bending the rules a little bit to bring the vicious murderer to justice. With more than 20 years of experience as a detective for the NYPD, Caunitz brings an unmatched level of realism to his hardboiled books. Narrator George Guidall enhances the gritty tale with a thrilling reading that transports you to the mean streets of the city that never sleeps.

      For a police drama, I felt this was one of the best reads. The characters are real, the scenes far more believable, the plot ugly enough and the story arc right on the money.This is the first Cauntz novel I've read, but definitely not the last.The scattering of sex scenes are somewhat graphic, but not so detailed as to put me off.I felt the ending was a tad too abrupt and left way too many questions - more appropriate to a continuing series. But then, I'm awfully picky when it comes to endings.
