In Glass' best-selling series, Lieutenant April Woo has been patrolling New York City's gritty streets for nearly a decade. In the June, 2005 paperback original novel, A Clean Kill, the ninth in the series, we find mystery fiction's most intriguing cop entangled in another heart-stopping case. Manhattan's Upper East Side isn't a neighborhood that NYPD detective April Woo and Precinct Captain Mike Sanchez associate with grisly crimes until Maddy Wilson, the wife of a celebrity chef, is slashed to death in her fashionable townhouse. The obvious suspect is her long-time nanny, a woman whose questionable behavior is matched only by her penchant for lies. Then, Maddy's best friend is murdered. The suspect? The nanny. For April the coincidence is strange, the connection too neat, the motives too tenuous. As the investigation unfolds, so do the victims' privileged secrets. And each one of them cuts with a knife. Over the course of the series, devoted fans have followed Woo's struggles as she's investigated high pressure, high profile cases while trying to manage her tumultuous personal life. At home, traditional Chinese parents object to both her job and her lover turned husband Mexican American Precinct Captain Mike Sanchez. At work, police department bosses often doubt her abilities and seek to torpedo her career. While on the streets, there are killers, kidnappers, and abusers lurking in the shadows, poised to lash out if Woo can't get to them first. Step into Leslie Glass' frighteningly vivid, hauntingly real vision of New York City's sordid underbelly and fall in love with the remarkably strong yet undeniably human April Woo.   | about leslie | books | characters | contact | home |
