Moon of the Wolf/Progeny of the Adder/2 Books in 1 by Leslie H. Whitten

Progeny of the Adder - Pulp noir goodness. Surprisingly entertaining. Published in 1965, may be the grandaddy of the psycho killer police procedurals. Set in Washington DC with lots of local references. On Stephen King's list of best horror/thriller books of all time.
