Query: In the shadow of Joe's amazing hunches.

The main character, Joe Keough, does very little (if any) actual detective work in this rather tepid novel.Amazingly, both the multiple murder investigation and the events surrounding little Brady Sanders manage to solve themselves with minimal input from Detective Keough. Joe is simply there to act on his outlandish hunches and pick up all the credit. This comes even at the cost of a fellow officer. But hey, it was the one detective on the force that all the men and women didn't really care for anyway, so what's the big deal, right?In reality, all Joe Keough has in this story are his hunches. He even goes so far as to tell this to his superiors and the FBI.The supporting cast of officers are ineffectual, as is the story's villain. It is for these reasons that I cannot in good conscience recommend this novel.
