Charlie Resnick knows that slow and steady is what actually may win the race, or at least finish it most successfully. This particular race is finished with some happy as well as some very sad moments. There are some of those musical allusions that always confound me such as 'Hands that attacked tunes from corners, oblique and disarranged.' This was referring to Thelonius Monk's music. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0099421569, Mass Market Paperback)

Little Gloria Summers’ body has been found, hidden inside two plastic bin bags in a disused warehouse. Somewhere in the city, a child killer is on the loose. Then Emily Morrison vanishes and a week later there are still no clues. Years of patient police work have taught Inspector Charlie Resnick that those who jump to easy conclusions are often the last ones to solve a crime.
