Dead Man Upright by Derek Raymond

4.0

(3.5) This one is far from my favorite in the series. The assailant is a Jack the Ripper type and I've never been a fan of gruesome murders centered around the bloodied bodies of women. There's also too much "getting in the mind of a serial killer", another genre I don't enjoy (this was a lot more fun when the detective got into the "mind" of the person who's death he was investigating in book one of the series He Died With His Eyes Open.). But make no mistake, it's always fun to see the nameless detective in action, giving the middle finger to the powers of the world in a way we wish we all could. A decent Factory book is better than 95% of the other crime novels I read.
