    El periodista Andy Brazil accede a colaborar voluntariamente con el Departamento de Policía de Charlotte en la investigación de uno de los casos más controvertidos que puede recordar. La agente con quien trabajará es la subdirectora Virginia West, una mujer inteligente y resolutiva cuyo carácter choca frontalmente con el de su nuevo compañero. Las diferencias entre ambos solo desaparecerán al centrarse en su objetivo común: atrapar a un escurridizo asesino que ya ha cargado cuatro víctimas a su macabra cuenta particular. El modus operandi del criminal no deja lugar a dudas: se enfrentan a uno de los mayores dementes que han andado sueltos por la ciudad.

    In their first appearance, Chief Judy Hammer, Deputy Virginia West, and rookie cop Andy Brazil faced a serial killer in Charlotte, North Carolina. Now, they are sent to Richmond, Virginia, to tackle the escalating gang issue and modernize the local police department, armed with a sophisticated computer program for tracking crime. However, they are unprepared for the resentment and the bizarre characters they encounter upon arrival. Among them are Lelia Ehrhart, the wealthy and nosy chair of the Blue Ribbon Crime Commission, whose heavy accent makes her English amusing; Butner "Bubba" Flunk IV, a tobacco worker and UFO enthusiast; Smoke, the sociopathic leader of the Pikes gang; and Weed Gardener, a 14-year-old graffiti artist. Unlike Cornwell's usual thrillers, this narrative focuses on these eccentric personalities and their surreal environment, offering a satire of city politics, Southern culture, and the complex relationship between police and the public. While some elements, like a computer virus affecting police websites, may seem implausible, and the narrative occasionally loses focus with its three main characters, the novel ultimately shines through Cornwell's unique portrayal of police work and the quirky life of Richmond's residents.

  3. Isle of Dogs

    Patricia Cornwell's novels of big-city police have taken this classic genre to a new level. Now, with this #1 New York Times bestselling novel, she outdoes herself, with a wry tale of life and turmoil behind the blue wall. Chaos breaks loose when the governor of Virginia orders that speed traps be painted on all streets and highways, and warns that speeders will be caught by monitoring aircraft flying overhead. But the eccentric island of Tangier, fourteen miles off the coast of Virginia in Chesapeake Bay, responds by declaring war on its own state. Judy Hammer, newly installed as the superintendent of the Virginia State Police, and Andy Brazil, a state trooper and Hammer's right hand and confidant, find themselves at their wits' end as they try to protect the public from the politicians-and vice versa-in this pitch-perfect, darkly comic romp.
