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, and into
the day-by-day nuts and bolts of police work, that is among the best in
modern crime fiction. Undercurrents is a roller-coaster ride in the
dark that will intrigue, startle, and satisfy.
