This book is full of snappy dialogue and strong characters. The story seemed to have been ripped from the newspapers; Darlene Beckett is a child molester who is trolling bars for pickups. She is killed and left with the word 'evil' etched into her forehead. It is up to Harry Doyle, the dead detective, to find out who the murderer is. More bodies will fall before the grand finale.

I thought why Doyle was called 'the dead detective' was original and graphic. I enjoyed the story, even though I figured out the murderer before the end of the story. I look forward to finding the next in this series.
