THIRD
DeartlySIn
Lawrence Sanders
New York at dusk. The working day is done, the bars fill up with revelers, and conventioneers pack the restaurants and hotels. Ordinary people go home, but the city comes alive with another breed: people on the make, thrill-seekers and thrill-givers, the lonely and the lustful, and among them one who wears a wig and high heels, and a gold charm bracelet which says WHY NOT?, and who carries a Swiss Army knife as sharp and lethal as a razor blade.
That deadliest and most elusive of criminals—the random killer—is at large in the hotel bars and lobbies of midtown New York, murdering without apparent motive, savagely, cruelly. Without publicity, the police are hamstrung, yet they dare not divulge the emerging pattern to the media. So, out of retirement, his lumbering body slowed by age but his brain still acute to the ways and wherefores of the criminal mentality, the NYPD calls the professional, Edward X.

New York at dusk. The working day is done, the bars fill up with revelers, and conventioneers pack the restaurants and hotels. Ordinary people go home, but the city comes alive with another breed: people on the make, thrill-seekers and thrill-givers, the lonely and the lustful, and among them one who wears a wig and high heels, and a gold charm bracelet which says WHY NOT?, and who carries a Swiss Army knife as sharp and lethal as a razor blade.
That deadliest and most elusive of criminals—the random killer—is at large in the hotel bars and lobbies of midtown New York, murdering without apparent motive, savagely, cruelly. Without publicity, the police are hamstrung, yet they dare not divulge the emerging pattern to the media. So, out of retirement, his lumbering body slowed by age but his brain still acute to the ways and wherefores of the criminal mentality, the NYPD calls the professional, Edward X. "Iron Balls" Delaney. Delaney is the quintessential officer of the law, the cop-of-cops, patient, smart, tenacious, unswerving once he has engaged his criminal adversary. But even as the evidence accumulates, as the leads are pursued and the stakeouts
(Continued from front flap)
deployed, the savage murders continue in a recognizable rhythm until Delaney can predict with precision the week in which the next one will occur. But which hotel will the killer choose? And who will die next?
Lawrence Sanders has shown before his penetrating sense of New York, its people, its police, and Chief Delaney is the character who has helped make him one of America's best-loved and best-selling novelists. But in The Third Deadly Sin he has added an element as unique and original as it is, in today's climate, logical and terrifying: the creation of a new kind of killer, one whose story is, inexorably, a tale of death and violence, but at the same time a human tragedy of extraordinary poignancy.
The Third Deadly Sin is at once Lawrence Sanders' most frightening novel and his best. Vissza
