Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Kate and her partner, Al Hawkin, are called to a scene of carefully executed murder: the victim is a muscular man, handcuffed and strangled, a stun gun's faint burn on his chest and candy in his pocket. The likeliest person to want him dead, his often-abused wife, is meek and frail — and has an airtight alibi. Kate and Al are stumped, until a second body turns up — also zapped, cuffed, and strangled...and carrying a candy bar. This victim: a convicted rapist. As newspaper headlines speculate about vendetta killings, a third death draws Kate and Al into a network of pitiless destruction that reaches far beyond San Francisco, a modern-style hit list with shudderingly primal roots. Review:"Rich, multi-layered storytelling that informs while it entertains." Washington Post Book World Review:"King is a deft and literate writer whose work never fails to please....A superior novel." The San Diego Union-Tribune Review:"A dense and suspenseful tale. Memorable." Publishers Weekly Review:Kate's passion, and King's, brings new urgency to a familiar story about merging personal conviction with professional duty."
