Barry Friedman - Dead End

They found Henry Gibson shot dead in his abandoned car on a dirt road. Dead End. Then George Horner...and Noah Hamberger. Wait a minute...who's depleting the population of Northeastern Ohio? Random murders or a sicko with an agenda? Dead End. That was the problem facing homicide detective Al Maharos. He ran out of ideas. Dead End. Maharos, who had never worked with a woman partner...until Karen Vandergrift. Attractive, brilliant Vandergrift. Together, they uncovered other bodies and a pattern unique to the annals of crime. The problem was: who was linked to them? Dead End. They knew their path would converge with that of the killer...They knew when...But where? Dead End.
