Mallory's Oracle

Meer over het boek

Jonathan Kellerman calls it "a joy," while Nelson DeMille and other advance readers describe it as "truly amazing" and "a classic" with "immense appeal." This debut novel weaves a gripping tale of unsolved murders in New York's Gramercy Park, centered around Kathleen Mallory, a remarkable wild child turned policewoman. Adopted from the streets by a police inspector and his wife, she remains untamed as a sergeant in the Special Crimes section. With her fierce intelligence and striking green eyes, Mallory operates by her own moral compass, driven by a unique sense of justice that leads her down unpredictable paths. When her adoptive father, Louis Markowitz, is found murdered alongside a wealthy woman, Mallory is thrust into the investigation. The murders are linked to two other homicides Markowitz was probing, and now his cases become hers, his death igniting her determination. As she navigates the streets, sifting through clues and connecting with his acquaintances, she enters a shadowy world where appearances deceive and truths shift. A killer lurks, as wild and unpredictable as Mallory herself. Rich in atmosphere and sharp prose, this novel delivers a suspenseful and complex narrative that leaves a lasting impression.
