Night Work Kate and her partner, Al Hawkin, are called to a scene of carefully executed murder: the victim is a muscular man, handcuffed and strangled, a stun gun's faint burn on his chest and candy in his pocket. The likeliest person to want him dead, his often-abused wife, is meek and frail--and has an airtight alibi. Kate and Al are stumped, until a second body turns up--also zapped, cuffed, and strangled...and carrying a candy bar. This victim: a convicted rapist.

Rezensionen
"King is a deft and literate writer whose work never fails to please....A superior novel." -- The San Diego Union-Tribune "A dense and suspenseful tale. Memorable." -- Publishers Weekly "A richly feminist book in which King demonstrates again her remarkable skills in sinking the reader into a special culture/community where her many-layered stories unfold." -- Booknews from The Poisoned Pen "King is very, very good at looking society in the face and reflecting on the way it is now." -- The Boston Sunday Globe "As with all Laurie King's books, the facts tell only the smallest part of the truth....King exposes the issue with intensity and passion. It's hard to turn away even if you wanted to." -- Mystery News Read all the novels by Edgar and Creasey award winner Laurie R. King!
