Description
About the Book
This explosive second entry in the acclaimed Red Riding Quartet follows Detective Bob Fraser and Jack Whitehead as each works tirelessly to catch the Yorkshire Ripper. Their investigations turn grisly, and the detectives suspect there may be more than one killer at large.Book Synopsis
David Peace's acclaimed Red Riding Quartet continues with this exhilarating follow-up to Nineteen Seventy-Four. It's summer in Leeds and the city is anxiously awaiting the Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth's reign. Detective Bob Fraser and Jack Whitehead, a reporter at the Post, however, have other things on their minds-mainly the fact that someone is murdering prostitutes. The killer is quickly dubbed the "Yorkshire Ripper" and each man, on their own, works tirelessly to catch him. But their investigations turn grisly as they each engage in affairs with the prostitutes they are supposedly protecting. As the summer progresses, the killings accelerate and it seems as if Fraser and Whitehead are the only men who suspect or care that there may be more than one killer at large.Review Quotes
