Description
xNIGHT STALKER
Drug addicts, prostitutes, street gangs and shoot-outs. Police Sergeant Jack Tallon had had enough; he wanted out. He traded his L.A. beat for the quiet, wide-open spaces of Whitewater, Washington.
And trouble followed. A few short days after his installment as Chief of Police, Tallon faced the toughest crisis of his career-suspicion and hostility from the very people he was hired to protect. Whitewater's first major crime in years-a series of vicious rapes-was accompanied by an equally-vicious rumor: Tallon was the criminal.
From the author of IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT comes a fascinating study of police procedure, a suspenseful whodunit, an engrossing portrait of a small town paralyzed by fear.
