New York City homicide detectives Alexandra Hemmingway and Jon Phelps encounter a sadistic serial killer during a summer heat wave.
Hemingway is a woman who has just found out she's pregnant. She's also learning to live without a former lover who was murdered. At her side at all times is Detective Phelps.. a father figure and mentor.
The case they are working is terrifying. There are multiple child abductions and a psychopath who has a thing for removing appendages of his young victims.
I really liked the characters .. they are gritty and they are real. This is a real page-turner which will keep you reading until you're afraid to turn off the lights.
(RIVER OF THE DEAD and AMERICAN WOMAN are the same book)

Wow! Wow! Wow! If you like thrillers about serial killers this one is great!
My first by Pobi but not the last, so well written I had no idea who the killer was and still didn't have a clue until the very very end! Just the way I like a book!

This one gets five stars. One of my new favorite authors. Grisly is a word that described portions of this book. Thrilling, exciting, gritty and bloody. Very hard to put down once you start reading. I highly recommend this book if you like serial killer books. If you're looking for a cozy, this isn't it. Be prepared to be chilled to the bone. Wow, what a ride.
