Description
"Death is reporter Jack McEvoy's beat : his calling, his obsession. But this time, death brings McEvoy the story he never wanted to write -- and the mystery he desperately needs to solve. A serial killer of unprecendented savagery and cunning is at large. His targets : homicide cops, each haunted by a murder case he couldn't crack. The killer's calling card : a quotation from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. His latest victim is McEvoy's own brother. And his last... may be McEvoy himself."--Back cover.
Description
A psychological thriller on a serial killer who hunts homicide detectives. The hero of the tale is Denver newspaper reporter Jack McEvoy whose brother, a detective, shoots himself. McEvoy investigates police suicides in other cities and discovers a sinister pattern: sex killings followed by the "suicide" of the detective on the case and a suicide note in the form of a poetic riddle. In this way McEvoy stumbles on the killer known to the FBI as The Poet, and teams up with a beautiful FBI agent to capture him.
