A fly fishing NYPD detective versus a serial killer with a unique signature!
Someone is raping and strangling women in the Chelsea section of Manhattan - but, who?The only clues: a distinct signature, a heart carved into each victim’s breast, with the initials “J.C.” and the initials of the deceased; copies of the New Testament – with underlined passages referring to infidelity; and the fingerprints of a juvenile arrested in the 1960s in Upstate New York. Assigned to the case is NYPD detective, Matt Davis, hopelessly addicted to fly fishing - and chocolate.
A one-quarter Mohawk Indian partner, a scarred Vietnam veteran, and a female detective looking for "true love" complete the cast in this explosive mystery thriller that exposes the sordid underbelly of the world of Internet chat rooms. The nerve-tingling plot grabs the reader and doesn't let go, propelling "As The Twig Is Bent" toward its unlikely, bone-chilling conclusion.
