Costs Pronzini is crime-writing royalty. His more than 80 publicized novels have gained or been nominated for Edgar, Hammett, Anthony, Shamus, and Macavity honours - a clean sweep of the criminal offenses fiction honours field - and received rave reviews from critics. He crafts masterful testimonies, often from multiple perspectives, where the real human condition is on full display. The Violated is not any exemption. In Echo Park, in the small town of Santa Rita, California, the mutilated body of Martin Torrey is found by two passersby. A listed making love offender, Torrey is a suspect in a string of recent rapes, and instant suspicion for his murder comes on the family members and friends of the ladies attacked. Police key Griffin Kells and detective Robert Ortiz are under increasing pressure from the public and from a mayor demanding results in an instance that has no easy solution. Pronzini cleverly unfolds the case through alternating perspectives - Martin Torrey's partner, captured between her grief and the fear her husband was guilty; the outraged husbands of the ladies violated; the enterprising editor of the local paper; the mayor concerned most along with his own ratings; the detectives, often rotating in circles - until a unusual break brings about a completely unpredicted realization. The Violated is Costs Pronzini at the elevation of his storytelling capabilities.
