Présentation de l'éditeur

NIGHT STALKER Drug addicts, prostitutes, street gangs and shoot-outs. Police Sergeant Jack Tallon had had enough; he wanted out. He traded his L.A. beat for the quiet, wide-open spaces of Whitewater, Washington. And trouble followed. A few short days after his installment as Chief of Police, Tallon faced the toughest crisis of his career—suspicion and hostility from the very people he was hired to protect. Whitewater's first major crime in years—a series of vicious rapes—was accompanied by an equally-vicious rumor: Tallon was the criminal. From the author of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT comes a fascinating study of police procedure, a suspenseful whodunit, an engrossing portrait of a small town paralyzed by fear.
