Over the top Buddy Cop story from Hell.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
James Herbert crafts an interesting novel about a cop that is considered a 'Jonah' (i.e. one believed to bring bad luck) by his fellow officers, because all the cases the man works end in tragedy (as the opening pages of the novel show too well). The jinxed hero is soon given a beautiful female partner and another prickly case to solve, one that opens up past traumas that might hold the answer to his cursed luck. Herbert pulls out all the stops at the finale and the ending is truly haunting. Recommended.
