À propos de cette écoute
Winner of the Grand Prix de Litterature Policiere: As chief medical examiner of New York City, Paul Konig has one of the world’s most difficult jobs - and when his daughter goes missing, he must take on his most wrenching case yet.
New York City in the 1970s is a dark, dangerous, and threatening place. One of the bright spots in this decaying metropolis is Paul Konig. As the city’s chief medical examiner, he has developed an impressive reputation for his skills in forensic pathology - skills that will be put to the ultimate test when a dangerous psychopath kidnaps Konig’s daughter.
Herbert Lieberman takes his readers on a gruesome journey through the ten most difficult days in the life of a man at the very end of his rope. In addition to being awoken to phone calls featuring his daughter’s desperate screams each night, Konig’s professional life is in danger. Between the case of a serial killer who leaves a trail of severed body parts in his wake; the investigation of questionable forensic work on an alleged prison suicide under Konig’s watch; and the naked ambitions of a deputy medical examiner, it will take every ounce of Konig’s strength to save his own life - as well as his family’s.

The story follows its own course, between the torment experienced by the main character and the detailed description of a New York City in the grip of a slow but inexorable decay. The crime scenes are disturbingly realistic, and the autopsy scenes are chilling. Everything is described with scientific meticulousness, while the objects examined provoke disgust. The contrast between the squalor of the environment and Konig's view of it all, which he seems to be used to, is enough to make you shudder.
Michael Butler Murray's reading is perfect; it always strikes the right tone and clearly marks the outbursts of a hero who, while placid when it comes to practising his profession, can also be violent and harsh in his social interactions.
Thrilling
