Produktbeschreibung

'It's always good to get in at the start of something major. And I think that Lieutenant Jimmy Parisi . . could be very major indeed. The publishers have come up with a winner here' Mark Timlin, Independent

'This well-paced first thriller has an engaging narrator . . . and a new twist.'Publishers Weekly (CUTTER)

In the mid '50s, two teenage girls were found dead and naked in a ditch near Willow Springs, a suburb of Chicago. The case fell into the hands of Jake Parisi, a decorated veteran of World War II and an elite detective for Chicago Homicide. Parisi is relentless in tracking the murderer of the girls, but his efforts are in vain, and the case becomes 'cold', a Homicide's nightmare. There were several suspects, but Jake could not come up with evidence to arrest any of them. He carried the burden of the homicides into his retirement, and he died in the '70s.

Jimmy Parisi, Jake's only son and a decorated veteran of the Vietnam War, becomes a Homicide detective like his father and shockingly becomes involved in a dual murder of two teenage girls who were also found nude and dead in a ditch near the location of the murders in 1956. It is 1982, twenty-six years later, and Jimmy and his partner Doc Gibron are eerily reminded of Jake Parisi's 'cold case'. Like his father, Jimmy is confronted with a similar dead end in his search for the killer or killers. But Jimmy Parisi is a bulldog, like his father, and he persists in the search.

A suspect from 1956 in the first pair of slayings comes into Jimmy's gunsights, and the novel evolves into Hitchcockian suspense as to whether the murderer will get away with his multiple killings one more time.

Autorenporträt

James Boschert grew up in the then colony of Malaya in the early fifties. He learned first hand about terrorism while there as the Communist insurgency was in full swing. His school was burnt down and the family, while traveling, narrowly survived an ambush, saved by a Gurkha patrol, which drove off the insurgents. He went on to join the British army serving in remote places like Borneo and Oman. Later he spent five years in Iran before the revolution, where he played polo with the Iranian Army, developed a passion for the remote Assassin castles found in the high mountains to the north, and learned to understand and speak the Farsi language. Escaping Iran during the revolution, he went on to become an engineer and now lives in Arizona on a small ranch with his family and animals
