Product Description
Product Description
When a massacre takes place in a Harlem school, Lamar, A New York detective for twelve years, is called to the scene. A student, aged seventeen, has shot everyone in his path before shooting himself. Having collected all the evidence, Lamar reconstructs the blood-soaked morning of the killer. Ten days later, a second massacre occurs at a school in Queens. Once more, a student kills multiple victims before turning the gun on himself. A new massacre occurs elsewhere. Three sets of killings in three weeks, all the same with the perpetrators committing suicide. It isn t just a coincidence...

This book might be short but it's quite a powerful story.
We are introduced to Lt. Lamar Gallineo who is in brought in to investigate a massacre in a high school in Harlem. The writing is quite blunt at times, at times brutal, very direct and to the point. The scene is set well and we are drawn in by the Author. As Gallineo is inverstigating the massacre, a second and third massacre occur in other schools. We the reader are soon on a journey and we soon realise that things are not as cut and dried as they appear to be.
I really enjoyed this book and demolished it in a couple of hours due to it being just over a 100 pages. I did guess some of the outcome from early on but that didn't deter in any way from the story or my enjoyment of it. I will look out for more books by this Author once they have been translated.
