In Creighton, Maine, former cop turned Q&A
Investigative Agency chief Frank Quinn and law enforcement with their dogs in
pursuit feel they have the D.O.A. serial killer trapped. As he flees, D.O.A. shoots Quinn in the back
near Creighton Lake before taking off in his nearby plane. However, his escape ends abruptly when the
plane explodes killing the psychopath.
Two years later in a New York hotel, the NYPD
Commissioner Renz hires Q&A to investigate the mass murders of five teenage
students and their twenty something art teacher in the Fairchild Hotel. Each of the six victims had the initials
D.O.A. carved into their head. Quinn
realizes that the victims, on a field trip from Ohio, had the misfortunate to
meet still alive D.O.A. With the
gauntlet tossed, Quinn and D.O.A. make the rematch personal.
The latest Frank Quinn and Associates (though the
A plays a smaller role than usual) investigative tale (see Twist) is an
action-packed over the top of the Empire State Building big cat and big cat
thriller. Although the switching between
the present in NYC, two years ago in Maine, 1992 Sarasota and 1940 Dunkirk
initially is confusing, readers will anticipate the stratospheric testosterone
confrontation.
