Description

"ONE OF THE BEST COP NOVELS TO COME ALONG IN YEARS." —Jeffery Deaver
Pharmacy clerk William Dremmel is hooked—on drugging pretty young women and lulling them into slow, blissfully quiet deaths. Then he packs his victims in luggage—a nod to the cops that he works alone. Dremmel's no fool, he's also a college professor. He just likes using his intellect for darker purposes. . ..
"AN INSIDER'S VIEW OF HOW A TRUE POLICE INVESTIGATION UNFOLDS. IT'S AS CLOSE A LOOK AT POLICE WORK AS YOU CAN show more GET." –Elmore Leonard
Haunted by his own daughter's unsolved disappearance, Detective John Stallings is committed to finding runaways and busting their abductors. When a series of girls is found dead and stuffed into duffle bags, he's consumed with capturing "The Bagman"—at the risk of his marriage, his career, and possibly his tough-as-nails partner, Patty Levine. . .
"A FASCINATING AND FRIGHTENING THRILLER. YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO PUT THIS BOOK DOWN!" –Kevin O'Brien
As The Bagman grows more brazen in his crimes, the clues line up. But when he draws terrifyingly close to Patty, Stallings is determined to play by his own rules—and they won't be pretty—or quiet. . .
"A PERFECT THRILLER FOR HOLLYWOOD TO GRAB." –Joseph Wambaugh.

"The Perfect Woman" is a fast-moving crime story set in Jacksonville, FA in which Jack Stallings, a detective for the Sheriff's Office, tracks down a serial killer. The characters are well developed, believable, and the plot held my interest. I ended up reading the 2nd half in one day as the intensity picked up. Andrus left room for a sequel and, given that this is his 1st novel, I would not be surprised if it came out soon..."
This was an interesting book for me. There was enough plot to keep you interested in the book. Enjoyed it.
