Quinn is getting a chance to redeem himself by finding the Night Prowler. Very good story with many turns and a surprising ending.

I didn't read it.
This is a very good series, this is the first in a new series of NYPD cop Frank Quinn. This is my second time of reading it and this time round I found it to be way too long and drawn out so I skipped a lot of it but like I said--I've read it before so this second time around I didn't need to read all the details.
I highly reccommend this series--it is a good one!

Think I am going to like this series if the first is a good example of Lutz's writing!
This is the second book I have read by Lutz (the first was Final Seconds). I found both of these books to be fast-paced thrillers which kept my attention. This book is the first in the Frank Quinn series. Quinn is an ex New York police detective who is called in to try to get a handle on the murder of a married couple that happened in the middle of the night. Quinn is also a wrongly accused child rapist who is given this opportunity by the assistant chief of NYPD to perhaps get back on the police force after being dismissed following the rape charge. After getting involved in the murder case, another similar murder occurs and then it happens again. Quinn and his team are after a nasty serial killer dubbed the Night Prowler by the press, who seems to only murder married couples late at night. Along the way, Quinn gets romantically involved with his partner, Pearl, who also tries to help him clear the rape charge against him. The novel pushes ahead to a conclusion that was totally unexpected.
Quinn also reminded me a lot of the Harry Bosch character in the Michael Connelly series of books -- both are maligned police detectives with others in the PD out to get them. Overall, a strong recommendation for this thriller and I have some others in the series that I hope to get to soon.
