Crime School

Police detective Kathleen Mallory recognized the dead call girl. It was someone from her past, a woman who protected her on the streets of New York—and who betrayed her. Mallory also recognized the crime scene: victim hanging, hair in mouth, fire burning. It happened twenty-one years ago, when Mallory was a child. Now—whether it's the work of a copycat killer or a serial murderer—it has happened again. Kathleen Mallory's past has finally caught up with her."The juxtaposition of grisly detail and elegantly elliptical writing creates suspense that builds and resonates." ---Kirkus starred review
