Synopsis: Masquerading as a soldier, a serial killer savages wartime Detroit; it&’s up to one detective and his ragtag team to stop himAs the United States enters World War II, Detroit converts its factories to an &“arsenal of democracy,&” fueling the American war machine. The city&’s sons leave to join the fight, but one man does not follow. Declared too unstable for combat, he steals an Air Force corporal&’s uniform. Using the uniform to inspire trust, he talks ration stamp-hoarders into letting him into their homes, where he slits their throats with a bayonet. The newspapers call him Kilroy. On his tail is police Lieutenant Maximilian Zagreb, whose task it is to keep order in a city whose police department has been stripped of everyone but pensioners and army-rejects. Chasing Kilroy will force him far outside the bounds of legal police procedure, but Zag doesn&’t mind cracking skulls to get results. In wartime, a little bloodshed is inevitable. This ebook features an illustrated biography of Loren D. Estleman including rare photos from the author&’s personal collection.
