Another One Goes Tonight [is an] impeccably constructed mystery
featuring the unpredictable but ever-entertaining Detective
Superintendent Peter Diamond...there are plenty of red herrings to sniff
out and misdirections to blindly follow. A classic whodunit. --The
New York Times Book Review
En route to investigate a late-night disturbance, a patrol car spins off
the road, killing one of the cops and leaving the other in critical
condition. Detective Peter Diamond is assigned to look into the case.
His supervisor is desperately hoping Diamond will not discover the
officers were at fault. Instead, he discovers something even worse--a
civilian on a motorized tricycle was involved in the crash and has been
lying on the side of the road for hours. Diamond administers CPR, but
the man's fate is unclear. Soon, though, Diamond becomes suspicious of
the civilian victim and begins a private inquiry that leads to a trail
of uninvestigated deaths. As the man lingers on life support, Diamond
wrestles with the fact that he may have saved the life of a serial
killer.
