THE BONE COLLECTOR

Be warned! In this novel Jeffery Deaver provides, not only heart-pounding suspense and fascinating details about police forensics, but also gruesome minutiae of sadistic mayhem. David McCallum does his best to render the latter with as much taste as the context allows while doing every justice to the author's other attributes. Some may boggle at the hard-boiled NYPD being filtered through a British accent. But McCallum displays a thorough knowledge of the urban American idiom and may be forgiven his refinement.
