Con Man....
In December 1989, in upstate New York, Gary C. Evans, 35, a master of disguise and a career criminal who had befriended David Son of Sam Berkowitz, began weaving a web of deadly lies. Evans told a female friend that Damien Cuomo, the father of her child, had deserted her. Of that he could be certain, since he'd killed Cuomo, and subsequently struck up a 10-year romance with the woman while tricking her into believing Cuomo was still alive.
Law Man....
Evans first met New York State Police Senior Investigator James Horton in 1985, when Evans fingered Michael Falco, 26, as the brains behind their theft team - yet failed to mention that he'd murdered him. Then, two local jewelry dealers were killed. In 1997, Tim Rysedorph, 39, another old friend, went missing. Was Evans responsible? Horton launched a nationwide manhunt to uncover the truth.
End Game....
For more than thirteen years, Evans and Horton maintained an odd relationship - part friendship, part manipulation - with Evans serving as a snitch while the tenacious investigator searched for the answers that would put him away. After Horton used Evans as a pawn to obtain a confession from a local killer, Evans led Horton in a final game of cat-and-mouse: a battle of wits that would culminate in the most shocking death of all.

"I typically read true crime books when I am on vacation. I was just on vacation in PR and read this one and found it engrossing from page one. The story of a cop and master thief/serial killer who play a game of cat and mouse is well-written.
