DAYDREAMS

By: Mitchell Smith

Synopsis:

The crime was ugly - a beautiful call girl hideously slain. But that
was nothing compared to what was to come when two New York City
Detectives pursued the case: a tough and seasoned maverick named Tom
Nardon, and Ellie Klein, a female cop determined to over come past
failure and disgrase, and earn her slot in the department's elite. What
they found as they moved through a maze of lower depth depravity and
high power politics, petty corruption and cardinal sin, may murder look
minor - and death as close as the first wrong step...

To Linda, my wife

CHAPTER 1

Sally Gaither had been waiting to be found for a day and a night,
sitting naked, wired to her folding chair in a small, shifting storm of
steam and hot water, the pink ball bulging fat between her teeth.
