Thomas Adcock (Author)

Book Description

Series: Neil Hockaday Mystery | Publication Date: December 1, 1991

Born and bred in Hell's Kitchen, Detective Neil Hockaday didn't think that much about an old geezer calling himself Picasso and babbling about slaughter on Tenth Avenue--until the killings began. Now it's up to Hock to stop a murderer who makes killing an art--real masterworks in paint, flesh, and blood. Original.

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Hock book.., May 12, 2004

"Dark Maze" follows up "Sea of Green", and it doesn't disappoint. our hero, Hock, now has to find a homeless man who is connected to a series of murders. This man, "Picasso", is connected to the Coney Island scene, and thus, Hock has to untangle the intricacies of thier politics. The story is still honest, as Hock tries to understand just who Picasso is before someone else dies. You are kept at the seat of your patns until the final, bloody ending. Great story, but not quite "Sea of Green"

3.0 out of 5 stars Too much surprise, not enough suspense, May 30, 2006

This is not a bad book, but it isn't a great one either. I knew that the obvious suspect wasn't going to be the murderer, however the real murderer was unexpected. I felt that the author didn't give enough information to lead someone to figure out who the murderer was. In fact once I found out who the murderer was, I had to go back through the book to remember the character.
