Body Parts

In the ever-maddening crush of rush hour, a stranger departs the subway from Manhattan. He carries with him an instrument of death, and it is on this night that he will use it to commit another brutal murder. Thus starts the odyssey through the novel, BODY PARTS, the shocking story of the pursuit of a sadistic serial killer. When a young victim is found murdered the detectives assigned to the case have no way of knowing that this is just the start of a series of events that will not only test their investigative abilities, but put them on a roller-coaster of emotions that even the most hardened of veteran cops rarely ride. BODY PARTS provides insight into the daily stress endured by those charged with keeping order in an ever increasing violent society. Set in the revitalized section of a city that was left to decay decades ago, the story's main character, Harry Hanvey is a cynical, but wily veteran of the police force, who has a hard time accepting the new law enforcement concepts of community-policing and public relations. Harry is teamed with his long time partner, Detective Tony Baggadanno. Along with their colleagues from the downtown precinct, they quickly become immersed in an investigation that has the city in a panic and the political and community leaders putting increasing pressure on them to solve the case. As the brutality continues and the body count goes up, clues are scarce and suspects are few. As the characters are brought together in a deadly game of psychological suspense, Harry becomes obsessed with the case and it becomes a personal vendetta to apprehend the one responsible for the carnage in his city.Rubino, Paul is the author of 'Body Parts', published 2001 under ISBN 9781591091493 and ISBN 1591091497.
