Frenzy - (Frank Quinn Mysteries) by John Lutz (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

When half a dozen bodies are found in a hotel room, tied up and with a set of initials carved into their foreheads, the NYPD recognizes the signature of a serial killer. Ex-cop and PI Frank Quinn has faced this perpetrator in the past--and paid a price for it. But he intends to stop the murderer once and for all . . .

From a winner of a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Private Eye Writers of America and a finalist for the Anthony and Edgar awards, this gritty, fast-paced novel continues the series starring the former top homicide detective who was framed for corruption and forced to retire--but isn't finished taking down the city's most terrifying and elusive criminals.

"Lutz ranks with such vintage masters of big-city murder as Lawrence Block and Ed McBain." --St. Louis Post-Dispatch

"A major talent." --John Lescroart, New York Times-bestselling author of The Missing Piece

"Lutz knows how to make you shiver." --Harlan Coben, #1 New York Times-bestselling author of Think Twice
