Excellent mystery

bentstoker | Jan 26, 2024 |

Police. Very good. 1st book I've read by this author. Serial killer does his deed by tainting food of a grocery store chain that he perceived did him wrong in a previous tainted food episode.

Product poisoning is it revenge or extortion, or both? Lots of challenges for Lou and Daphne as random victims are being attacked by a particularly insidious method. Painstaking police work and psychological profiling at their current best will be required to solve these crimes. Tedious and difficult to sustain interest. (

Acquired via The Urban Rest Stop in Seattle my hardcover copy now stands its ironic watch over all the edibles within my PT-Cruiser's ice-chest. (

Book description

HE'S COMMITTED THE PERFECT MURDER.
NOW HE'LL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN...
Innocent lives are being snuffed out--in nice suburban homes, in clean kitchens, and children's playhouses. A Seattle food company is crumbling. And veteran homicide sergeant Lou Boldt and police psychologist Daphne Matthews are clawing at the cast from opposite ends: unearthing microscopic evidence and the chilling psychological profile of a murderous product tamperer.

The man Daphne Matthews loves is being destroyed by the killings. Boldt sees the awesome power of department cracking as the extortionist slips away from ATM machines with his payoff. And suddenly, as the high-tech manhunt builds to a furious crescendo, Boldt and Matthews are jolted again: the madman they're hunting may not be alone...
