What this book is about
A D.D. Warren novel introducing Dr. Adeline Glen, a woman with congenital insensitivity to pain, who becomes relevant when her violent killer sister escapes from prison. Gardner's central gimmick — a protagonist who cannot feel pain — is used with clinical intelligence, and the serial killer investigation around it is among her most propulsive.
