Product Description

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. --This text refers to the Mass Market Paperback edition.


Ingram

Third in a series of captivating novels based on A&E's Edgar Award-winning "Cracker" series, starring Robbie Coltrane. Dr. Edward Fitzgerald (Fitz) is an ingenious psychologist who freelances his services for the police. In his latest outing, Fitz must shelve his personal problems when a young boy is found murdered--and all signs point to his English teacher as the killer . --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Series of Novelizations That Improve on the Source, Nov 9 2001
I HATE novelizations. But these done for the great British TV mystery series starring Robbie Coltrane actually improve upon the teleplays, adding rich details and psychological insight to the already intense plots. These books could easily stand alone as a great series of psychological crime novels, unified in tone despite the fact that half a dozen different authors have been involved in their creation. Leave it to the Brits to once again do the impossible. First The Battle of Britain, now this...

4.0 out of 5 stars good stuff, Jun 2 2001
By A Customer
Very intriguing book. A bit long at times; somewhat predictable at other times. However, the main character, Fitz is presented as a complex and fascinating person who really makes this novel very enjoyable. I've never seen the actual television series, but the book was definitely interesting.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read, Jan 20 1998
By A Customer
The English police admire psychiatrist Edward Fitzgerald for his help in solving difficult cases, but most members of the force abhor the doctor's personal lifestyle. Fitz loves to gamble, drink and smoke cigarettes to excess, and cannot resist the women. Though he has returned to his beleaguered spouse, Fitz still finds himself attracted to police inspector Jane Penhaligon.

The police have asked for Fitz to help them on the investigation of the murder of a school boy. The circumstantial evidence points towards the lad's teacher as the killer. Even Fitz is convinced that the man is guilty. Still, to the credit of both the psychiatrist and the police, they continue their inquiries to insure the right person is charged with the murder.

Fans of the BBC series that this novel is extracted from will enjoy this novel that emphasizes Fitz's personal problems to include an interesting self analysis. However, the story line seems less than the plot of a novel and more like a script of an on-going TV series. Anyone who loves the TV series will want to read CRACKER: ONE DAY A LEMMING WILL FLY to learn more about the psychiatrist with numerous addictions and problems.
