Black and White

by Dan Mahoney

Published 1 June 1999

When two NYPD officers find the mutilated body of a woman and the corpse of her male companion, they have no idea that their discovery will provoke a media frenzy. The woman is the daughter of a powerful New York City politician, and the man is not her husband.

Detective First Grade Brian McKenna's a manhunt leads him deep into the seamy underworld of illegal pornography. As his search intensifies, he learns that the monster he's chasing will kill again unless McKenna can find him first. Mahoney uses a chilling twist to keep the reader in the clark until the very last page.
