0440218632 0440218632 From Publishers Weekly A former CIA agent and an NYPD officer must stop an ex-KGB officer turned killer who mutilates young women, leaving corpses made up of sewn-together body parts. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. From Library Journal Although prohibited by its charter from operating domestically, the CIA is so desperate to catch a serial killer that it blackmails a judge to free a former agent convicted of lying to Congress. The agent, Mike Culley, is told only to locate a KGB defector who had once been his operative in Moscow and is now implicated in a massive counterfeiting scheme. Only when Culley hooks up with a journalist, herself a former decorated New York City cop, does he realize the truth about the defector he seeks. Convinced that if she can accompany Culley she will be led to the scoop of her career, Julie Hauser talks him into accepting an uneasy alliance. Such is the premise of this pseudonymous first novel. It is an exciting thriller that moves with such breakneck speed that the reader easily overlooks some of its implausibilities. A good bet to satisfy your thriller fans, and certain to be in demand. --Charles Michaud, Turner Free Lib., Randolph, Mass. Copyright 1994 Reed Business Information, Inc. --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
