Seller's Description:
2001. William Morrow. First. Hard Cover. Book-VG. DJ-VG. 9.5x6.5. 294pp. Detective Michael Ryan died in Cleveland's Renaissance hotel two years ago, murdered with his own weapon. Since that time homicide detective John Salvatore Paris has worked long and hard to salvage his good friend's reputation, but with no success. Now a rash of brutal slayings is rocking Paris's city.
After introducing Jack Paris in Deviant Way, we meet him again in Kiss of Evil for probably the last time as Montanari seems to have passed on to other characters in his most recent novels. For poor Paris who almost lost his daughter in the first one, it is another nightmare of a case. It seems that all the bad guys in Cleveland are out to get him and more so here cause this time it's personal. Not Montanari 's best cause at times it's a bit confusing and exaggerated plus the killer 's identity is not really a surprise (unlike all his other ones) but i highly recommend it to those who like a good thriller all the same. It's just that with Montanari i always expect something special that other authors of his peer rarely deliver.
