Product Description
In this sequel to the novel "Switch", New York police lieutenant Frank Janek returns to solve another serial-killer case. The only things linking the murders is the same grisly style and the strange signature of the killer, a dead weed placed at the scene of each crime.

A good read about a great cop.
20 Sep 2001
Format:Paperback
I don't normally read police procedurals but this one is an exception. "Wallflower" is by far the best of the Janek novels. It also has the least amount of sex in it of the three. If Bayer had left the better part of the sex to the reader's imagination in all three novels he would have done even better. This is a great read, especially for those who would profer to avoid Ed McBain and/or Joseph Wambaugh but would still like some balance in their mystery reading. If you enjoy the Janek novels as I have you will also enjoy the seven movies based on these books.

One of my favorites
19 May 2000
Format:Paperback
I borrowed this book from a friend in high school and never returned it. Now it's almost 10 years later and I've read it about 15 times. Wallflower is probably one of the best books I've ever read. It may seem a little involved and a bit farfetched, but it is fiction... This is a must-read for anyone who likes murder mysteries, especially psychological murder mysteries.

Good Police Thriller
9 April 2002
Format:Paperback
I think this is one of the better police thrilers of the time period. He defiantly has a good one here also. He just produces wonderful character driven stories that when they work (and this one does), they really grab you. The tension is there though out the full book. The story is very developed so much so that you see the crime sceens. Another thing about his books is that they do not play to the lowest common denominator for action books; he gives the reader some respect and expects an IQ over 70. A good book that is worth the time.
