| Summary: | Detective Inspector Amanda Valentine was once a cop on the mean streets of New York City. Now, at the other end of the world, the streets of Wellington seem no less mean on these sweltering January days and nights. A monster the press has dubbed the Garbage Dump Killer is on the loose, his victims a grisly jigsaw of anonymous body parts left around the city. Dogged by an impatient press, Amanda and her task force have been resoundingly unsuccessful in developing leads to the killer, and a police colleague seems hell-bent on undermining her presence on the case. Jezebel, a friend and street-source to Amanda has been savagely beaten and her flat ransacked, for reasons Jezebel is unwilling - or too terrified - to divulge. Nor is Amanda's personal life and less complicated. Lover Kate will no longer accept the crumbs left over from Amanda's professional life. Amanda is being stalked by a beautiful TV reporter Amanda judges to be a "bimbo", albeit a seductively dangerous one. Tough and unconventional, Amanda Valentine is an unusual cop. Unpredictable and passionate, she is very much her own woman. You'll like her. As adversaries and lovers learn, this Valentine woman's got it all. |
