What should it matter if someone helps her along? Dr. Sybil Hart is dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease. Stephanie Bekker is his wife, interested in antiques and people and an avid gardener. To put it plainly, he’s a major whack job. Michael Bekker is a forensic pathologist fascinated by death who works at the University Hospital, a teaching and research hospital - and a psychopath with a major drug problem. They’re not impressed with Shearson either. John Barber and Howie Berkson are Maplewood cops. Helstrom is the Wisconsin cop who catches the deep woods burial. Sloan is in Intelligence, Swanson, nobody respects Andy Shearson, Shirl’ is a dispatcher, Sergeant Harry Barlow is with Internal Affairs, Bucky, Karl, Frank Lester is deputy chief for investigations, and Mikkelson is a deputy medical examiner. She’s also still shutting him out.ĭel is undercover for Narcotics and is a friend of Lucas’. Jennifer Carey is the mother of his two-year-old daughter and still with TV3. One who’ll play his computer games with him. Now she’s a psychologist and still Lucas’ friend. Sister Mary Joseph was Elle Krueger back in her civilian days. He’s also a games developer and has a nice income from it, enough to afford that Porsche and nice clothes. Lieutenant Lucas Davenport is suffering from a major depression, still recovering from the gunfight and losing his woman and his daughter in Shadow Prey, 2. They don’t need to know about evidence, they know Bekker. ”You could do more than contain it…but you can’t, can you?” takes on a whole new meaning…Ī fatal beating with almost no clues - although everyone who knew Bekker that the police talk to think that he did it. Don’t talk about what your boyfriend lets slip, especially when murder is part of the picture. Okayyy, this is why you should practice discretion. Some good dating tips for the guys as well, *grin*. It makes for a welcome bit of comic relief. Thank god for Lucas coaching Del through this date. What he does to Sybil is enough all on its own. And when you read what Bekker gets up to, it’s really easy to tell that he’s the psycho. It makes me nuts when authors toss these labels around without thought, so please note the difference between a psychopath and a sociopath - one is worse than the other. LOL, that scene where the reporter in the very short skirt gets up on a chair and the cops sit down around her… Nice to know the cops are just guys *she says laughing* It makes me think of how Maisie Dobbs uses her techniques of observation to determine innocence, guilt, fear, happiness, etc. Bekker’s social organization of death is one of those, and yet as I read Sandford’s “explanation”, it makes perfect sense on a very sensitive topic. I don’t know why I’m ever amazed at the things humans can come up with to study. When you think of how much time Loverboy took to remove all traces of his presence while his lover is dying in the kitchen. Jesus, when you read the report on the forensics at the crime scene. Sandford also talks about how Lucas develops his video games, which I find interesting. I am absolutely dying to read Silent Prey next! I gotta know what happens!! A truth that gets still worse when you get to the end. A truth that only gets worse as she lies dying, helpless when help is available. The amount of surveillance that he must have done, only to be horror-struck when we learn the truth. I’d been so impressed with how much Bekker knew about the victim-to-be. This one uses the plot from Strangers on a Train, a fact that isn’t obvious until that first kill, and Sandford leads us into it beautifully. It only takes a tug, and you can unroll the ball of possibilities in so many different directions. It is fascinating to see how far Sandford takes Bekker’s obsession. Do not read too much into all of what he says…some of it develops much later. This one, in particular, is very useful for writers as Sandford talks about how the gruesome bits developed, the questions he asked himself. They add an extra depth - and horror - to the story I’m reading. It’s more of a hit-or-miss, if I’m in the mood kind of thing, yet I’m finding Sandford’s introductions interesting.
