Sins of the Flesh

by Colleen McCullough

First published 2013

In the quiet college town of Holloman, Connecticut, anonymous male corpses are turning up, emaciated and emasculated. Police Captain Carmine Delmonico cuts his vacation short to lead the investigation, circling a trio of eccentric estate-dwellers with dark pasts. As the body count rises and the killer's methods become more vicious, it's clear Holloman harbors not one, but two psychopathic murderers. With the town in a panic and Carmine himself nearly becoming the next victim, the race is on to unmask the killers before they strike again.
