Let the Devil Sleep (Dave Gurney, No. 3): A Novel (A Dave Gurney Novel)

In this latest novel from bestselling author John Verdon, ingenious puzzle solver Dave Gurney puts under the magnifying glass a notorious serial murderÂ case â€“ one whose motives have been enshrined as law-enforcement dogma - and discovers that everyone has it wrong.
Â
The most decorated homicide detective in NYPD history, Dave Gurney is still trying to adjust to his life of quasi-retirement in upstate New York when a young woman who is producing a documentary on an infamousÂ murder spree seeks his counsel.Â Soon after, Gurney begins feeling threatened: a razor-sharp hunting arrow lands in his yard, and he narrowly escapes serious injury in a booby-trapped basement.Â As things grow more bizarre, he finds himself reexamining the case of The Good Shepherd, which ten years before involved a series of roadside shootings and a rage-against-the-rich manifesto.Â The killings ceased, and a cult of analysis grew up around the case with a consensus opinion that no one would dream of challengingâ€”no one, that is, but Dave Gurney.Â Â
Â Â Â Â Mocked even by some whoâ€™d been hisÂ allies in previous investigations, Gurney realizes that the killer is too clever to ever be found.Â The only gambit that may make sense is also the most dangerousâ€”to make himself a target and get the killer to come to him.
