The Second Deadly Sin

ebook
A police detective must find out who murdered a world-famous artist in a thriller by the #1 New York Times–bestselling "master of suspense" (The Washington Post).
A month ago, world-renowned artist Victor Maitland was found dead in his Mott Street studio—stabbed repeatedly in the back. With no clear leads or suspects, the New York Police Department calls Chief Edward Delaney out of retirement. Delaney is still adjusting to life on the outside, and he's bored by his free time. He welcomes the chance to put his well-honed investigative skills to the test once again. To investigate the case, Delaney plunges into Maitland's rarefied orbit. Following a winding path of avarice, deception, and fraud, Delaney uncovers a long line of suspects that includes Maitland's wife, son, and mistress. When a second murder rocks Manhattan's art world, Delaney moves closer to the truth about what kind of a man—or monster—Victor Maitland really was. But which of the artist's enemies was capable of killing him and leaving no trail?
