Synopsis

It's a beautiful spring day in the little city of Holloman, Connecticut. The year is 1967, and the world teeters on the brink of nuclear holocaust as the Cold War goes relentlessly on. But Holloman has other things to worry about—on April 3, 1967, twelve murders have taken place on one day. Suddenly Captain Carmine Delmonico, chief of detectives, has other, more important matters to occupy him than finding a satisfactory name for his infant son. With his cohorts Abe Goldberg and Corey Marshall giving him unfailing support, Carmine embarks on what looks like an insoluble case.

Goodreads review by Steph on September 13, 2013

I really like McCullough's other books - especially the Rome series, but also the Australians. This one is set in the US in the late '60s in an exclusive college in Connecticut (read Yale). The subtext of anti-feminism and in fact the plethora of negative women characters completely overshadowed any......more

Goodreads review by Gary on October 09, 2017

I liked the police part of the book, the mystery itself was a bit too much at the beginning with “too many murders.” Delmonico is a great character as are a couple of the side characters. Good conclusion, not as creepy as On, Off. Recommended.......more

Goodreads review by Karen on August 01, 2016

This was such a great mystery story. Though a couple parts were slow, I really wanted to find out the ending and could hardly lay it down. This would be a top read for the year and it would rate a five in spite of a few factors like the slow stuff, but the few instances of unbecoming language from t......more
