Colin J. O. Harrison. Avon Books, $4.95 (0pp) ISBN 978-0-380-71526-8

Peter Scattergood, a promising young Philadelphia assistant DA whose marriage is failing, investigates the double murder of the mayor's nephew and the nephew's girlfriend. PW called this an ``exceptionally solid debut thriller. . . . Although Harrison's occasionally overwrought prose can take on a dizzying, almost hallucinogenic effect, he really knows how to spin a tale.'' (June)
