Book Description
Fitz is furious with his wife; annoyed by his dropout son; attracted to his sometime partner at the copshop, Jane Panhaligon; and troubled by a new case: a missing youth has turned up dead. Fitz, a freelance police psychologist, is a genius at cross-questioning witnesses and suspects alike, looking into their very souls and learning truths that they never even knew about themselves. He's always on the mark--unless his own vices and addictions trip him up. But this is no time for mistakes: a ruthless killer is on the prowl and he grows more elusive with each tick of the clock.

A brilliant literary adaptation of A&E's successful "Cracker" series. Cracker is Dr. Edward Fitzgerald, a down-on-his-luck, drinking, smoking, overweight, almost-divorced, police psychiatrist, brilliantly played by Robbie Coltrane. This time out, a young boy is found murdered, his body hanging from a tree. All signs point to his English teacher as the killer on what looks like an open-and-shut case. But when police call Fitz to help obtain a confession, the truth proves as elusive as the killer himself. Martin's Press.
