Detective Neil Hockaday and his wife are drawn into a killer's savage design, beginning only a few blocks from their home. And now Hock must battle a forcemore powerful than a mere policeman's badge and bullets, a force no less thanthe very essence of evil.

Set in New Orleans, the hometown of Hock's new wife, black actress Ruby Flagg, Thrown-Away Child is a pungent Creole stew of family secrets, sour politics, ritual murder, and bittersweet revenge. Hoping for respite from his hard-drinking past in Manhattan, Hock travels to the fabled Land of Dreams with Ruby to meet her close-knit family. Hardly have the newlyweds arrived when the peaceful home of Hock's mother-in-law, Violet, is disrupted by two racist cops hunting for Ruby's cousin Perry Duclat, who has been living with Violet since his mother abandoned him. Now this thrown-away child is a grown and troubled man, wanted for murder. The victim is Perry's former cellmate at Angola penitentiary, whose mutilated body has been branded with a bizarre acronym - MOMS. When Perry disappears, Hock teams up with a disenchanted New Orleans cop to conduct a highly unofficial Investigation. Before justice is finally done, there are more brutal murders - and more brandings. Among the slain: a little boy so alone in the world he can only guess at his name. Besides the terrible murders, Hock must resolve personal quandaries: the meaning of Ruby's unsettling emotions about returning to her southern roots, and his own future - if any - with the New York Police Department.

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.

The third Neil Hockaday mystery from the Edgar Award-winning author of Dark Maze. New York detective Hockaday of the S.C.U.M. patrol (Street Crimes Unit--Manhattan) journeys to Ireland to search for the truth about his father, who vanished during World War II.
