Det. Lindsay Boxer, of the San Francisco police department,áis searching for a killer who's knocking off the well-to-do without leaving any signs of violence on the bodies. The investigation is going nowhere until the department's repository of institutional memory recalls a series of unsolved killings from 1982, in which the unidentified perpetrator used a krait, a rare Indian snake, to poison the victims. Meanwhile, Boxer's gal pal, journalist Cindy Thomas, is pressing the police to devote resources to a low priority murder-that of a homeless man known as Bagman Jesus, whose real name is a mystery.This is my favorite type of book: mystery with a female lead. I love Patterson's short chapters (just one more & then I'll do something else). The story was intriguing. The love story maybe a little too graphic for me to feel comfortable having on the shelves...fortunately, it's mostly faculty who read Patterson! Good quick read.
Rating: 8 of 10.
