An Hour to Kill - A Novel

Informationen zum Autor Karin Yapalater earned a BA from New York University and an MFA from Columbia University's Graduate Writing Program. She lives in New York City and Bridgehampton with her husband and children. An Hour to Kill is her first novel. A powerful new voice in psychological crime fiction pens "a skillful mix of murder, sex, and psychosis" ("Entertainment Weekly") in this thriller about two New York City detectives who are investigating a series of grisly deaths. Zusammenfassung In the dreary, dreadful gray of a New York winter, two bodies are discovered in Central Park. The first horribly burned beyond recognition. The second, once a prominent psychiatrist, an apparent suicide, taking his last breath behind the wheel of a '57 Mercedes Gullwing, an unfired .25 caliber automatic at his side. These grisly findings resonate deeply within the personal lives of Detectives James Gurson and Didi Kane. As the dirty truth begins to surface, so too will the psychological wreckage. To solve these complex and interconnected crimes, they must embark on an investigation that takes on noir undertones, immersing them in a labyrinth of Freudian reverie, Jungian dreams, unconscious truths and conscious deceptions, graphic sex, and sadistic violence.
