5.0 out of 5 stars Drake story is as rich a police procedural to be found, December 31, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Blood Money (Hardcover)

When the senior citizen was found dead in a Los Angeles park, the brass decides to ignore the case because other more critical investigations were on going. Besides, the higher-ups rationalized that the deceased probably died of a heart attack. However, police detective Jessie Drake cannot let the case go unresolved after learning that the elderly man had concentration camp numbers engraved on his arm. Jessie has just learned about her own connection to the Nazi horrors.

Jessie soon learns the identity of the man and begins to follow his footsteps over the last few days of his life. This quickly leads her to conclude that a serial killer is on the loose, targeting holocaust survivors. Her path soon leads to the prestigious Steel Foundation, a philanthropic group dedicated to help the survivors regain the assets lost during WW II. However, Jessie begins to wonder if the organization has a more sinister, avaricious, and deadly reason for assisting Jews.

BLOOD MONEY is as deep of a police procedural as can be found on the market today. The non-stop story line is built around a fabulous who-done-it, but it is the historical questions that add savory flavor to the novel. Jessie remains a great person, who personalizes her investigation to the point of obsession, which in turn, provides readers with much insight and depth intoto a wonderful character. Fans of police procedurals will relish Rochelle Krich's BLOOD MONEY and clearly want to read the two previous Drake mysteries (FERTILE GROUND and ANGEL OF DEATH). - Harriet Klausner
