Two weeks is the timeframe that Dave Gurney - homicide inspector newly renovated NYPD and protagonist of the first novel by John Verdon, Think In a number - it is necessary to solve a puzzling case that comes into his hands: a young bride is beheaded during the wedding reception, surrounded by hundreds of guests. There are no witnesses, the murder weapon or any killer track. A challenge that is impossible to resist. But at what cost? All indications point to the new gardener, a mysterious and troubled man, but nothing fits - neither reason nor the absence of the murder weapon and, above all, ruthless modus operandi. Leaving aside the obvious, Gurney begins to connect the dots far from imagining that is about to wage an epic battle with the worst of enemies, a ruthless sadist will not hesitate to drag it to the edge of the cliff and worse .. . unto his wife, Madeleine.
