A
killer takes the bones of his victims and a police detective leads
a task force to track down the killer. The detective has a wife
at home on life support in a persistent vegetative state while his
female side kick is in love with him. A 14 year old computer
genius appears to help with the case and provides the only real
leads. She even sets up a meeting with the killer. The meeting is
for 10 am and of course the child is warned not to come. At 1:30
pm the stake out is called off and at that time, the child shows
up: she didn't want to miss the meeting. She is roundly chastised
by our hero who even then doesn't get around to telling her parents
of her involvement. Unfortunately, that type if illogical progression
permeates this book and destroys what started out as an enjoyable
read.© Copyright 2024, aaaamonmouthchapter.org All rights reserved.
