Truly gripping. - Science Fiction Chronicle.
In a crumbling San Francisco of the near future, an ex-cop investigates the crimes of a serial killer who dispatches his victims two at a time, chains them together in a grotesque embrace, and dumps them into the bay. The first volume of the Carlucci Trilogy by Philip K. Dick Award-winner Richard Paul Russo, this hard-boiled thriller masterfully combines elements of a noir mystery and cyberpunk fiction. AUTHOR: American science-fiction author Richard Paul Russo twice received the Philip K. Dick Award: in 1989, for his second novel, Subterranean Gallery, and in 2001 for Ship of Fools. His critically acclaimed Carlucci Trilogy, consisting of Destroying Angel, Carlucci’s Edge, and Carlucci’s Heart, were praised by Science Fiction Chronicle as Truly gripping … a lot more realistic than most near-future SF, as well as being just plain better written than most of it.
