The Riddle Murders F E Cassis

Amid the deadliest heatwave ever registered in New York City, Homicide Lieutenant John Brannagan receives unsettling riddles through his email. Who's sending them? A vicious serial killer. And he delivers each riddle on the same day he has chosen to strike again. The detective must solve the riddle before 9:00 p.m. to thwart the taking of another life. The riddles get harder to crack with each new threat--and the dead body count looks unstoppable. The State Governor, the City Mayor, the Police Commissioner, the news media, the taxpayers--everybody puts the heat on the NYPD demanding that they break the case in short order. It'll be a long, hot summer for Lieutenant Brannagan.
