The Butcher's Boy by Thomas Perry

3.0

In the introduction to this 1983 Edgar winner for best first novel, [a:Michael Connelly|12470|Michael Connelly|http://photo.goodreads.com/authors/1202588562p2/12470.jpg] promises the reader a great suspense ride and the book lives up to it. A lean, spare prose style with a dual narrative that follows a Justice Department employee and the title character that was read with a low key style by Michael Kramer made this an enjoyable audio.
