When three of the most beautiful call girls who circulate Houston's exclusive haute monde die in bizarre, violent, but seemingly unrelated incidents, homicide detective Stuart Haydon suspects they are separate pieces of the same deadly puzzle.  Medical reports on the women indicate the presence of a rare and mysterious virus, and Haydon launches an investigation that carries him from the shadowy wharves and warehouses of the city's back streets to the exotic world of Houston's wealthy Brazilian expatriate community -- a closed society of extravagant living and well-guarded secrets.

The killer continues to elude Haydon, the sable-haired, Jaguar-driving police detective.  As the murderer leaves behind him an ever-increasing trail of victims, Haydon uncovers an underground slave trade in beautiful girls from the slums of Rio de Janeiro and begins to fit the pieces together.  As the pressure mounts to stop the continuing deaths, Haydon must do battle with his own inner doubts and secret weaknesses as he tensely constructs a scheme for outwitting a brilliant and maniacal killer whose obsessive crimes test even the limits of detective Haydon's understanding.

A Cold Mind is the work of a novelist with a master's touch.  Devotees of Lawrence sanders will welcome Lindsey as the spellbinding talent of the future.  Tony Hillerman, the demanding suspense writer, says, "I wish I'd written it . . . great characters, gripping suspense . . . a cinch for an Edgar nomination."
