"Marshall Karp is the only author I know who can get big laughs out of murdering someone." -James Patterson, author of the Alex Cross Novels "Karp offers multiple twists that will keep most readers guessing until the end, and balances the grim plot with Biggs's inexhaustible supply of genuinely humorous one-liners. Kinky Friedman and Carl Hiaasen fans should latch onto this series." -Publishers Weekly, STARRED REVIEW There are 33 million scrapbookers in America. Some are passionate. Some are compulsive. One is homicidal. When Eleanor Bellingham-Crump, an unrepentant socialite responsible for the drunk-driving death of a ten-year-old boy, turns up murdered on the floor of a Hollywood hotel bathroom, LAPD detectives Mike Lomax and Terry Biggs are confronted with a crime of artistic brutality. A vigilante is serving their own brand of crafty justice in Los Angeles, punishing those seen as wrongdoers with a pair of scissors through the spleen. And as if a bloody corpse were not enough, the killer leaves behind an intricate scrapbook documenting a motive of vengeance in lurid detail. Marshall Karp, coauthor with James Patterson of the #1 bestselling NYPD Red series, sets this Lomax and Biggs thriller in the normally benign world of scrapbooking. As more bodies are discovered, each with a scrapbook, Lomax and Biggs race to decode the meaning behind the clues before the killer has time to cut, paste...and kill again. Join Hollywood's favorite, and funniest, detectives as they try to peel back the pasted-over layers of this one-of-a-kind mystery to reveal the truth behind a string of cold-blooded killings. Once your adrenaline is pumping and your appetite whetted don't hesitate to move onto the rest of the fast-paced Lomax and Biggs mystery series: The Rabbit Factory; Bloodthirsty; Flipping Out; and Terminal.
