Synopsis

The most decorated homicide detective in NYPD history, Dave Gurney is still trying to adjust to his life of quasi-retirement in upstate New York when a young woman who is producing a documentary on a notorious murder spree seeks his counsel. Soon after, Gurney begins feeling threatened: a razor-sharp hunting arrow lands in his yard, and he narrowly escapes serious injury in a booby-trapped basement. As things grow more bizarre, he finds himself reexamining the case of The Good Shepherd. Mocked even by some who'd been his supporters, Dave realizes the killer is too clever to ever be found. The only gambit that may make sense is also the most dangerous - to make himself a target and get the killer to come to him.

It's 9PM and I'm thinking: "I'll lay in bed for a bit, read and call it a night. Gotta get up early, wake my daughter up, fix her lunch, get breakfast ready and then take her to school." The book I'm reading is John Verdon's latest: Let the Devil Sleep. The plate that sits on top of the chimney on t......more

Los dos primeros libros de Verdon me gustaron tanto, que comencé a leer Deja en paz al diablo con las expectativas en su máximo apogeo. La novela me la devoré, pero quizá le falta ese puntito extra de intensidad que sí percibí en Sé lo que estás pensando y No abras los ojos. De todos modos me pareci......more

Goodreads review by Franco on February 10, 2016

El tercer libro de la saga de David Gurney (mi serie de intriga favorita). Me gustó mucho. Me pareció mejor que el primero pero peor que los restantes. ¿Por qué? La razón principal es el mero hecho de que el caso no llamó mi atención tanto como los otros. Sin embargo, quitando eso, sigue habiendo un......more
