Inmate 1577 by Alan Jacobson is the fourth book in the
“Karen Vail” thriller series. Publisher: Premier Digital Publishing LLC, July
2011
When an elderly woman is found raped and brutally murdered in San
Francisco, Vail heads west to team up with SFPD Inspector Lance Burden and her
former task force colleague, Detective Roxxann Dixon. As Vail, Burden, and
Dixon follow the killer’s trail in and around San Francisco, the offender
continues his rampage, leaving behind clues that ultimately lead them to the
most unlikely of places: a mysterious island ripped from city lore whose
long-buried, decades-old secrets hold the key to their case. Alcatraz. The
Rock.
What a thrilling ride. The author weaves two separate events from
the past to the present and it’s in the present that we find Vail and the team
looking for a connection between the brutal murder and rape of two elderly
women and their husbands. When more victims are found, sifting through the
clues trying to find a link between them and Karen’s profile will be the key to
finding the killer. This fast-paced, action-filled drama kept me turning the
pages as I could not put this book down. With so many twist and turns, this
thriller kept me guessing and oh man, I did not see that coming when the
killer’s identity was revealed. A great story that has me waiting for the next
chapter in Karen Vail’s journey.
