Black and White Book

From the author of Once In, Never Out comes this gritty and explosive thriller featuring Detective First Grade Brian McKenna. When two New York City patrolmen come upon the savagely mutilated body of a young woman and the corpse of her male companion in Fort Tyron Park early one morning, they have no idea that their discovery will provoke a media frenzy. The murdered woman is Cindy Barone--the daughter of a powerful member of the city council--and the man she was with just before her death was not her husband. Detective First Grade Brian McKenna receives orders from the top to team up with a second of the force's stars, first grader Tommy McKenna, and the murdered woman's outraged family demands that the two find her killer, at whatever cost. With the press demanding explanations, the two McKennas embark on a hunt for a sadistic criminal with a penchant for killing his victims slowly and violently. Their search takes them cross-country where they penetrate the seamy underworld of illegal pornography. But as their manhunt intensifies, they learn that there might be two murderers, working together for a reason that only becomes clear with time. In Black and White, Dan Mahoney combines authentic procedural detail with relentless suspense and delivers his finest thriller to date.Read More
