by Sheldon Rusch Illinois state special agent Elizabeth Hewitt gets on the trail of a murderer who appears to be targeting beautiful women, who are being killed with a lethal injection and posed on the highway rest area benches. His other target is older men with bushy eyebrows, who are strangled with nylon stockings. Hewitt's previous superior, Captain Spandler, has been on sick leave from a massive heart attack and she is being harassed by her current supervisor, Richie Lattimore, who is politically motivated and curtails Hewitt's investigations. Lattimore, as well as other detectives, never lets her forget that in tracking a previous case, her lover turned out to be a human monster. Hewitt maintains her contact with Spandler and consults him about her progress. Hewitt finds a link between the times of the deaths of the victims and the airing of Chopin nocturnes, played on a Chicago classical radio station. The program is run by Jimmy Bronson, a former high school friend of Hewitt. Bronson comes under suspicion as does Hewitt's current lover, Brady Richler. Hewitt must probe into the depths of the killer's mind before she, too, is enmeshed in his clutches. This is a chilling murder mystery which includes crime, sex, and dubious relationships. The plot is well constructed with characters with very human weaknesses. The suspense is kept at a steady pace throughout, keeping the reader in doubt until the final explosive conclusion. |
