| Publisher Description: A murderer is stalking the streets of St Louis, and the only thing linking his victims is a system of special nightlines used by the phone company to test equipment. Lonely people use them to make contact with one another-but these people are dying. Praise for John Lutz "One of the best and most unusual novels in the history of private eye fiction."-Cedar-Rapids Gazette. Lutz's bestselling novel SWF Seeks Same was released as the major motion picture, Single White Female starring Bridget Fonda. "Edgar-winner Lutz (Nightlines, Ride the Lightning) will probably not win new readers here. Readers may object to the slow pace, to Dancer's tiresome little-boy-lost routine and to a pat, if tangled, resolution. Nudger's preoccupation with buying a used car is stressed as much as his concern for Claudia, and, except for the Mississippi River as a dumping place for corpses, we don't get much St. Louis color."-Publishers Weekly |
