À propos de cet ebook
A desperate ex-cop searches for a shadowy killer in a thriller by the New York Times–bestselling author: “One of the masters of the police novel.” —Ridley Pearson
A killer dubbed “The Night Prowler” has turned the city that doesn’t sleep into a town kept awake by terror. Unseen, he enters couples’ homes. Unsuspected, he lingers until the perfect moment arrives. He leaves “gifts” for his victims—before taking their lives.
Enter ex-homicide cop Frank Quinn, still reeling in the wake of an elaborate setup that ended his career. For Quinn, this isn’t just any job—it’s a last chance to salvage his reputation. As the investigation proceeds, the murderer loses no time stalking new prey: a loan officer and her high-earning husband; a couple who made a killing in the stock market; a pretty actress and her prosperous lover.
With the body count rising, it’s up to Quinn to unlock the mystery of a madman’s past and end his bloody reign. Quinn’s got his work cut out—because in a city the size of New York, any one of eight million faces could be that of a killer—or his next target . . .
“I’ve been a fan of John Lutz for years.” —T. Jefferson Parker
“John Lutz just keeps getting better and better.” —Tony Hillerman
“Some writers just have a flair for imaginative suspense, and John Lutz is one of them.” —Jeremiah Healy
“John Lutz is the new Lawrence Sanders.” —Mystery Scene
“Lutz knows how to seize and hold the reader’s imagination.” —The Plain Dealer
“Lutz’s real gift is to evoke detective work better than anyone else.” —Kirkus R
