Cold blood

the long version

"When Paris Murphy sees tall, awkward Justice Trip on television, "a concerned citizen" who found a grisly clue in the search for missing bridesmaid Bunny Pedersen, Paris is sure she has seen him before. When she remembers where she knew Trip long ago, she is uneasy, and when her assignment to the case enables her to meet him, her superb detective's intuition convinces her there is something disturbing about his concern." "As single-minded as always - except about her trouble marriage - and without concern for police department rules, Paris sets out to investigate Trip. Before long, it is clear to her that Trip is Bunny's killer, that his kills may be many, and that their shared history puts Paris herself in jeopardy."--Jacket.
