Print: $12.95 Download: $3.95 CAUTION: This work contains explicit SEXUAL MATERIAL that may not be suitable for all readers.
Someone is killing women in Manhattan -- but, who? The only clues: a distinct signature heart carved into each victim's breast (inside are the initials "J.C." and those of the deceased); copies of the New Testament (with underlined passages referring to infidelity); and fingerprints of a juvenile arrested in the 1960s. Assigned to the case is Matt Davis, a plodding but effective NYPD homicide detective who is hopelessly addicted to fly fishing - and chocolate. Helping him is his one-quarter Mohawk Indian partner, Chris Freitag, to whom he owes a long-standing debt of gratitude. Complicating things is Rita Valdez, a female detective who's looking for "true love," and not too particular about where she finds it. "As the Twig is Bent" is an explosive thriller that rips the lid off the sordid underbelly of Internet chat rooms, and propels the reader on a no-holds-barred journey toward its bone-chilling conclusion.
