The Slowest Death

Reed writes as only a cop can. -Nelson DeMille<P><b>Jack Murphy Delivers Justice</b><P>Detective Jack Murphy can read a crime scene like a book. When the naked brutalized corpse of a narcotics cop is found it's not the body that tells him a sick killer is on the loose but the monkey figurine-of the see no evil kind-shoved down his throat. It's a message not a clue. Then a high-profile judge is set on fire. Another figurine left behind. Murphy has a guess what's next. But it's not what he expects. The torture-killer taking out Evansville's defenders of law and order isn't the only one with secrets. The victims might have a few too . . .<P><b>Praise for Rick Reed and his novels</b><P>A jaw-dropping thriller.-Gregg Olsen<P> Leaves you wondering whether you really did lock the doors before you went to bed.-<i>Mystery Scene </i><P> Put this on your must-read list.-John Lutz<P> The things Reed has seen as a police officer make for a great book.-<i>Suspense Magazine</i><P> Rick Reed knows the dark side as only a real-life cop can and his writing crackles with authenticity. -Shane Gericke
