"For over a year, Philadelphia has been plauge by a serial killer dubbed as the Plate Glass Killer by the media. But finally, the police think they've caught a break - a man has been arrested at the site of the most recent murder, covered in the victim's blood. The man taken into custody is Henry Tyder, the scion of one of the most socially prominent families on Philadelphia's Main Line, a family that possesses the largest tracts of real estate in the city. He's also a hopeless alcoholic, frequently homeless, and often estranged from his family." "Although Tyder has apparently confessed to the crime, his attorney believes him to be too disordered to be capable of actually committing the crimes and asks Gregor Demarkian, retired head of the FBI's Behavioral Sciences Unit, to look into the case. What would have driven Tyder to confess to crimes he was seemingly incapable of committing, and more important, if Tyder isn't the killer, then who really is behind the murders of the Plate Glass Killer?"--BOOK JACKET.Haddam, Jane is the author of 'Glass Houses A Gregor Demarkian Mystery', published 2007 under ISBN 9780312343071 and ISBN 0312343078.
