Broken prey
John Sandford
The first body is of a young woman, found on a Minneapolis riverbank, her throat cut, her body scourged and put on display. Whoever did this, Lucas Davenport knows, is pushed by brain chemistry. There is something wrong with him. This isn't a bad love affair. The second body is found three weeks later, in a farmhouse six miles south. Same condition, same display--except this time it is a man. Nothing to link the two victims, nothing to indicate that the killings end here. "This guy "Lucas said. He took a deep breath, let it out as a sigh. "This guy is going to bust our chops." And soon he is going to do far, far worse than that

The Souvenir
Patricia Carlon
"An early morning murder in the park of a quiet country town in Australia. Four years later, Marion must find out who killed her brother. The police, the press and ordinary people have lost interest in the case, unable to determine which of two teenage girls was the culprit." "Sandra and Peta met each other while hitchhiking across Australia. They travelled together for a short time. Each accused the other of stabbing the boy in the park; each remains tarnished by suspicion, but free from prosecution.". "To resolve this intolerable state of affairs, Marion seeks the help of Jefferson Shields - she's been told that he solves puzzles. This one is a real challenge."--BOOK JACKET.
