Perfect Posture Scott Lothian

Perfect Posture aims to create a palpable good versus evil tension in the reader much like that effected by Erik Larson's classic Devil in the White City.

A dead girl, clutching a stuffed toy elephant covered in political buttons, is found posed on a luggage carousel at O'Hare Airport. Chicago, oblivious to the evil that has gripped the city for the past two months, believes they have discovered the first victim of the errantly named "Patriotic Killer." Only Lieutenant Jonathan Dearfield knows the truth: He must solve this case before the unimaginable happens. Perfect Posture takes readers inside the mind of a killer, while chronicling the lives of those committed to stopping the escalating carnage. This book is rich with Chicago area history, and filled with personalities and relationships-both dark and occasionally comical-that readers will grow to love or hate as they follow the non-stop action to a twisting catastrophic end.
