Let Sleeping Dogs
Boston Lieutenant Detective Jimmy Mathers and his Task Force were having trouble finding the thread that tied together all the varied victims of the serial killer the media had, for good reasons, dubbed The Boston Butcher.
It was an election year and Mayor Ron Mordati, needing to have the killer caught, was ready to haul in rogue cop Liam O’Leary to get it done despite the reluctance of the police commissioner & superintendent-in-chief and his own chief of staff. He also was willing to ignore the fact that O’Leary had been out on disability since a notoriously botched arrest twelve years earlier.
With only the snow piling up quicker than the mutilated bodies and politically expedient partnerships crumbling, O’Leary eventually erupts from his monkish existence and brings his unorthodox and abstract yet frighteningly precise methodology to bear. But has twelve years of intellectual torpor and self-destructive lifestyle tainted his storied prowess.
