Maniac - Mira Gibson

. .

Résumé :
Packed with twists and dark turns, Maniac presents a riveting tale of family secrets, homicidal justice, and the harrowing message that everyone is capable of murder. Another brutal murder has been committed in Kensington, but detectives Danielle Foster and Carter Dobbs don't understand why they've been assigned the case. The dead man, a professional ballet dancer, wasn't a special victim, but he was a member of the wealthiest family in Brooklyn. And the killer attempted to disguise the homicide as a badly staged suicide. Lieutenant Martin Franco has been quietly tracking a judge he doesn't trust. When Bobby Campopiano is found hanged to death at the Brooklyn Ballet, Franco pulls strings to get his best S.V.U. detectives on the case. Franco is convinced the dirty judge has taken bribes from the Campopiano crime family. He finally has his shot at taking down the corrupt judge, but only if Danny and Carter can navigate two investigations without coming undone. As Danny teeters on the brink of personal destruction, her own family matters having reached a fever-pitch, she presses into the investigation with everything she's got. Danny and Carter follow perplexing clues that lead deeper into Brooklyn's elite society, and quickly learn that anyone can be bought for the right price. The third installment of The Kensington Killers can only be described as psychological suspense at its finest.
