The Slowest Death
ByPublisher Description
A serial killer targets the cops and judges of a small Midwestern city in this mystery thriller by the acclaimed author and former homicide detective.
Detective Jack Murphy can read a crime scene like a book. When the naked, brutalized corpse of a narcotics cop is found, it’s not the body that tells him a sick killer is on the loose, but the monkey figurine—of the “see no evil” kind—shoved down the victim’s throat. It’s not a clue. It’s a message.
When a high-profile judge is set on fire, another figurine left behind. Murphy has a guess what’s next. But even he’s in for a grim surprise. Because the torture-killer taking out the defenders of law and order across Evansville, Indiana, isn’t the only one with secrets. The victims might have a few, too . . .

“Good Suspense thriller. Found the killer only when the book was about to end. Detailed review later”
