In the latest "Mallory" novel, police detective Kathy Mallory takes a supporting role while the action centers on her partner, P. Riker. As Riker recovers from injuries sustained in Crime School, he grows close to the enigmatic Dr. Johanna Apollo, a woman with beautiful legs, a disfigured back, and many secrets.

Meanwhile, radio shock jock Ian Zachary is encouraging listeners to ferret out jurors from a controversial trial. One by one, the jurors are dying at the hands of a character named the Reaper, but the FCC, FBI, and NYPD seem powerless to shut down Zachary's program and stop his deadly game. As Mallory investigates the disc jockey, she becomes convinced that Johanna Apollo is at the center of the mystery surrounding the vicious murders, and that Riker might be in danger.

Fast-paced and complex, this novel offers a twist ending that readers won't see coming.
