Fatal Beauty
by R.C. Hartson
Rating: 4.4 #ad
“A first-rate crime novel told in the classic noir tradition of Raymond Chandler, Jonathan Cain and Dennis Lehane.” – Best Thrillers
Ex-con Bart Hodgkins is abducting women at random in the windy city. A man without conscience; bold, high on drugs and alcohol, he is self-assured when he manipulates girls like Chelsea Rohrman into his web of evil and certain death.
His “silent partner” in subsequent serial killings is a former Cook County judge and university professor Lewis Lisecki, who is bald, unflappable and soft-spoken. Plagued at birth, given a dumpy fat boy’s body, one with flaccid arms, a short neck and bad eyesight, he’s forced to wear thick, round glasses that make him look like a goldfish staring out from a fish tank.
