Apie šią garsinę knygą

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.

Apie autorių

Born in 1933, William J. Caunitz used his thirty years of New York City police department experience for background in writing numerous novels depicting police corruption. In 1985, Caunitz published his first literary work, One Police Plaza, which gave readers a behind-the-scenes look at the way real cops behave. The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller. After the success of his first novel, Caunitz continued to write whodunit books focusing on the police force. From 1987 to 1993, Caunitz published Suspects, Black Sand, Exceptional Clearance, and Cleopatra Gold. His sixth and final novel, titled Pigtown, published in 1995, was considered by critics to be his best. The book chronicles the investigation of a mob hit that puts lead detective Matthew Stuart and his fellow cops in mortal danger. Caunitz, who divided his time between New York City and a little town in Mexico, died in 1996 at the age of 63. George Guidall is one of the most prolific narrators of audiobooks in the world.
