Description
"Detective Jack Murphy can read a crime scene like a book. When the naked, brutalized corpse of a narcotics cop is found, it's not the body that tells him a sick killer is on the loose, but the monkey figurine-of the "see no evil" kind-shoved down his throat. It's a message, not a clue. Then a high-profile judge is set on fire. Another figurine left behind. Murphy has a guess what's next. But it's not what he expects. The torture-killer taking out Evansville's defenders of law and order isn't the only one with secrets. The victims might have a few, too..." -- Back cover.
