St. Martin's/Malice Domestic AWARD WINNER for Best First Traditional Mystery. A BARRY and MACAVITY AWARD Nominee. When the somewhat unfashionable physician Andrew Fenimore spots a teenage boy trying unsuccessfully to bury his beloved cat in Philadelphia's posh Society Hill, he befriends the lonely youth and leads him to what is rumored to be an ancient Indian burial ground of the Lenape Indians. The two stumble across a body while digging, but this is not what surprises them. The young woman who is buried there is sitting in an upright position and facing east, as is customary with the Lenape, but her death is obviously a very recent one. When the identity of the woman is discovered to be that of the fiancee of an old colleague's son, Fenimore quickly finds himself buried in the investigation to uncover the cause…

N.Y.: Tor, 1993. 1st ed., with complete number line beginning with 1. Fine in dust jacket. "Philadelphia is plagued by a series of psychosexual killings that will repulse and engross readers of this slightly over-the-edge thriller about a martial artist gone mad. Scruffy homicide Lt. Bill Fogarty gets nowhere on the case until smooth Joey Tanaka, a young half-American assistant medical examiner (and All-Japan Championship karate finalist), identifies wounds on an art student/stripper victim as typical of Praying Mantis Kung Fu--a karate style based on the insect's attack moves. La Plante's unbalanced half-Vietnamese villain seeks perfection by mimicking the mantis's deadly mating ritual: he sexually attacks his victims, male and female, before savagely doing them in. A police sketch of the killer resembles Tanaka, which worries Fogarty. Then the killer ruthlessly batters Fogarty and kidnaps Tanaka's lover, Rachel--raising the stakes. La Plante flirts with the supernatural when…

"Badge of Honor series, the sixth volume overall (after The Assassin) and the first to be published in hardcover. The story, set in 1975, centers around the murder of Philadelphia policeman Jerry Kellog, perhaps committed by a corrupt cop because Kellog's wife, who's left him for another cop, has revealed that her husband's narcotics unit is dirty. Meanwhile, bar owner Gerry Atchison hires a small-time hit man to kill his cheating wife and his thieving business partner. Finding solutions to the three murders unites Giffin's huge cast of characters, among them high-profile detective Matt Payne and take-charge Sgt. Jason Washington, both of Special Operations. Heavy on the dialogue and action, with a touch of politics and a dash of soap opera, this swiftly paced novel has the feel of a breezy, expansive ensemble piece." -- Publishers Weekly.…
