...consists of a ruthlessly precise forensic catalog of those killings, complete with torn nylons and hematomas and vaginal swabs, mingled together with the stories of the detectives who are working the case and of their principal suspect, an enormous German named Klaus Haas. It is a police procedural straight from the precinct of hell. It is also as bravura a display of novelistic mastery, and as devastating a reading experience, as you are likely ever to encounter.

Unbelievable call, and the game’s over…We went straight up. A hundred football players and coaches went straight up.” Harvard, Brown, and Penn are all currently 4-1 in the Ivy League, and the Crimson travels to Penn next weekend.
