About this ebook
A desperate alcoholic's confession to murder may be too good to be true in this gripping installment of the Gregor Demarkian mystery series.
For over a year, Philadelphia has been plagued by a serial killer dubbed the Plate Glass Killer by the media. But finally, the police think they've caught a break – Henry Tyder, scion of one of the city's most prominent families, has been arrested at the latest crime scene, covered in the victim's blood. Tyder, a hopeless alcoholic often estranged from his family and frequently homeless, has apparently confessed to the crime.
Tyder's attorney, however, believes him to be too disordered to have committed the murders and asks Gregor Demarkian, retired head of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit, to investigate. Gregor, distracted by the sudden reappearance of his live-in girlfriend Bennis Hannaford after nearly a year away, finds himself enmeshed in the complex case. If Tyder didn't commit the crimes, then who is the real Plate Glass Killer stalking Philadelphia's streets?
Glass Houses is a gripping novel of psychological suspense that will keep you guessing until the very end. With its intricate plot, richly drawn characters, and masterful blend of forensic science and detective work, Jane Haddam's latest is a must-read for fans of mystery and thriller series.
