James Patrick Hunt is back with another Lt. George Hastings mystery, The Assailant.
This time Hastings is called to the St. Louis riverfront when a hooker turns up dead. Mostly abandoned, the riverfront leaves few clues for Hastings and his team. All they can really determine is that the girl was strangled.
The girl’s death is considered tragic, but nothing to worry about until a second hooker turns up dead, this time on the other end of the metropolitan area. Is there a serial killer loose in t...more

Did not enjoy this one at all. The only reason I finished is that I was stuck on a plane with nothing else. I thought this one started out ok but the development of the antagonist was pathetic. The killer, an MD was supposed to be intelligent and analytical, then got caught in a simple ego-trap. Not anywhere near the standards of mystery authors like John Sanford, Thomas Perry, Michael Connelly, etc. Will not read anything else by this guy.
This mystery is set in St. Louis. A local police detective races to catch a serial killer before he strikes again.
