Saw this today, and while I don't usually dip into the crime genre I just couldn't leave it behind. It sounds far too good.
Front cover blurb: The Kind of book you read at the point of a switch blade.... faster than you can turn the pages.
But the best is kept for the back cover!
"Two naked girls with their throats cut - tied together on the bedroom floor of a ransacked apartment.
A homicide that sent Detectives Fenner and Cascade looking under every stone for a killer - flushing out lesbians, dope-freaks, and drop-outs, plus a psychopathic apeman with the weirdest taste in wallpaper.
L.A. was a city full of suspects, until one confessed. He was young and black with a rape record and an IQ you could count on your fingers..."
Nice!
But wait - two endorsement put a shine on things:
Yorkshire Post: First class...compelling...not for those with weak stomachs and strong morals.
Liverpool Daily Post: If sex crimes turn you on then read The Killings.
;D
Now tell you - would YOU have left it behind?
I thought not.
So someone tell me - does this live up to the hype or not?
