Blood Relatives

It was exactly the sort of case Detective Carella despised. One girl had been raped and murdered. Another savagely ripped by a psycho's knife. Patricia Lowery survived the slashing attack and could identify her cousin's killer. All Carella needed was the girl's eyewitness testimony and a little luck. Then Patricia spotted her assailant in a routine line-up and Carella's luck ran out. His witness had fingered a fellow detective who had been on the force for seventeen years.
