UNDERCURRENTS: Police Sergeant Lou Boldt heads a special task
force within Seattle's Homicide bureau. His job: find and stop the Cross
Killer, a twisted, perverse serial murderer who has eluded police for
six months and paralyzed the city. But when a body washes up on the
shore of Puget Sound, Boldt thinks the killer has finally made a
mistake.
This body shows some of the work of the Cross Killer--but a job badly
botched. Did this woman die while trying to escape? Did she knowingly
jump in the water to preserve a clue? And is she now desperately trying
to tell Boldt something? With the help of the alluring Daphne Matthews,
a police psychologist, Boldt pieces together the complex puzzle--and the
listener is taken along on a journey into the mind of a killer.
THE ANGEL MAKER: At The Shelter, no one judges the runaway teens
who come in off the rainy Seattle streets. Volunteers, like police
psychologist Daphne Matthews, want only to rescue and rebuild lives.
Being a cop, Daphne thinks she's seen it all. But, what she encounters
in a sixteen-year-old girl chills her in a way she thought a case no
longer could. Daphne turns for help to the best cop she knows, a man
with creative instincts and an appreciation for forensic lab
techniques--Lou Boldt. Boldt isn''t a cop anymore; he's playing jazz
piano in a downtown club and doing his best to forget the past. When
Daphne puts her evidence on the table, Boldt is hooked.
NO WITNESSES: Seattle police detective Lou Boldt and police
psychologist Daphne Matthews return to confront the most challenging
case of their careers.
People are dying throughout Seattle--victims of a madman who is placing
poisoned food in neighborhood supermarkets. But the criminal is
intelligent: he writes the police chilling extortion letters--faxed
directly from a laptop computer over public telephone lines--and
retrieves his ransom electronically, through automatic teller machines
in hundreds of locations around the city. And while he is a murderer,
his crimes take place miles and often days away from his innocent
victims' demise. How can you stop a criminal when there is no crime
scene to study--and no witnesses?
