Críticas

"First rate suspense, with a soupcon of horror in the Hannibal Lecter vein... You won't be disappointed." --Stephen King

"And just as Robles notes the empty Bacardi bottles and crushed Capri Sun juice packs littering the beach, so too does Blauner keep a tight focus on his regional setting." --Marilyn Stasio, The New York Times Book Review

"Peter Blauner has created one of the most memorable psychopaths since Hannibal Lecter." --The Washington Post

"The prose is economical and precise, the setting well drawn and the characters real enough to give you a chill the next time you cruise past a police car." --Associated Press

"Blauner excels with strong, realistic characters, believable police work, and smart, propulsive dialogue." --Kirkus (starred review)

"An action-packed and plot twist-laden thriller. Exploring such subjects as police corruption, misogyny, and racism, this is a page-turner of the highest order." --Publishers Weekly (starred review)

"[U]nforgettable characters in an epic battle of good and evil . . ." - NY Journal of Books

"Peter Blauner's bracing, suspenseful Sunrise Highway has everything you want in a thriller . . ." - Popsugar

Reseña del editor

“First rate suspense, with a soupcon of horror in the Hannibal Lecter vein... You won’t be disappointed." —Stephen King

From Peter Blauner, the writer Dennis Lehane calls "one of the most consistently bracing and interesting voices in American crime literature," comes a new thriller about a lone young cop on the trail of a powerful killer determined not just to stop her, but to make her pay.

In the summer of Star Wars and Son of Sam, a Long Island schoolgirl is found gruesomely murdered. A local prosecutor turns a troubled teenager known as JT from a suspect to a star witness in the case, putting away a high school football star who claimed to be innocent. Forty years later, JT has risen to chief of police, but there's a trail of a dozen dead women that reaches from Brooklyn across Long Island, along the Sunrise Highway, and it's possible that his actions actually enabled a killer.

That's when Lourdes Robles, a relentless young Latina detective for the NYPD, steps in to track the serial killer. She discovers a deep and sinister web of connections between the victims and some of the most powerful political figures in the region, including JT himself. Now Lourdes not only has to catch a killer, but maybe dismantle an entire system that's protected him, possibly at the cost of her own life.
