About this title: Shane Scully and his partner are assigned to the case of "The Fingertip Killer" - serial murderer preying on homeless Vietnam veterans in Los Angeles. Every two weeks he strikes: he beats his victims, and then shoots them in the back of the head. Once they're dead, he cuts off their fingertips and tosses their bodies in the river. Into this explosive mix, comes another killing that Shane believes doesn't fit the pattern. Scully suspects an elaborate copycat murder.

"Good; Continuing character: Shane Scully; a serial killer who clips off the fingers of his victims, Russian mobsters, and dirty feds make for the latest villians"
"These books are absolute page turners. Not the world's greatest literature, but if you're looking for interesting, thoughtful murder-mystery this is the stuff. The fact that it's laced with laugh-out-loud black humor is icing on the cake.
For example "we're more f*cked than a sheep at an Appalachian barn dance". How can you not love that?"
"A good old fasioned crime solver. The characters have lots of family issues intertwined in the development and solving of the crime. I liked the fact that the main detective's wife was also his boss."
