Soon Waring, now high up in the Organized Crime Division of the Justice Department, receives a surprise latenight visit from the Butcher’s Boy. Knowing she keeps track of the Mafia, he asks her whom his attackers worked for, offering information that will help her crack an unsolved murder in return.

From the Back Cover
The Butcher s Boy is back for another one-man war against the Mafia.
Praise for Strip "Thomas Perry, that smiling sadist who gets his kicks from outfoxing readers, is at his wicked best in Strip." Marilyn Stasio, New York Times Book Review Praise for Runner "Perry is a master of suspense, knowing just when to switch viewpoints and how to pace the action to keep the tension high throughout." Associated Press Praise for Fidelity "A coolly cerebral Perry puzzle . . . [Fidelity] rivets attention, races fast and displays distinctive Perry hallmarks, especially in its standoffs." Janet Maslin, New York Times Praise for Silence "Intriguing . . . Filled with the same dark humor that has been the author s trademark since his Edgar-winning debut, The Butcher s Boy." Denver PostFrom the Inside Flap
