The Assailant - Couverture rigide

St. Louis Police Lt. George Hastings gets the call and finds a co-ed call girl strangled and dumped on banks of the Mississippi. With few leads and little support from her colleagues or clients, Hastings has little to go on until the body of the next woman - strangled again - turns up across town. As violence mounts, the line between upstanding citizens and their secret desires gets thinner and thinner in this thrilling game of catch-me-if-you-can.

"The superbly drawn characters in this mix of thriller and police procedural would do Joseph Wambaugh or Michael Connelly proud...Another fine piece of work." - Booklist (starred review)" --Booklist
