Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:When Seattle Police Officer Katherine Murphy transfers from a crime-ridden downtown district to the Second Watch footbeat in the Ballard neighborhood, her new partner, Grace Stevens, promises a quiet shift with only a drunk fisherman now and then, a merchant's complaint, a panhandler or two-a welcome relief for the young policewoman. No more violence from the mean streets on skid road, no more wearying shifts ending at 4:00 a.m. But Katherine's first greeting to the peaceful Scandinavian neighborhood won't come from the singing butcher on Ballard Avenue or the Danish grocery store owner, who is the mainstay of the community. Instead, she will gaze deeply into the lifeless eyes of a dead girl whose naked body, stuffed into trash bags, is found at a nearby garbage dump. Following his acclaimed novel of suspense, First Avenue, Lowen Clausen draws an authentic portrait of a community forced to face unspeakable crimes and the young police officer, Katherine Murphy, who must sort out her responses to pure evil and to children who desperately need her help. Review:"Clausen is a natural...with an authenticity only a real cop could convey." Ann Rule Synopsis:From the author of the bestseller First Avenue comes a look at life on the Second Watch for Seattle cops Katherine Murphy and Grace Stevens. As the first officers on the scene of a sadistic murder, Grace and Katherine take on a risky undercover assignment to search for the killer. Original.
