I've read it and, appropriately enough for this month, it's a
police procedural.
Set during the Depression in (IIRC) the Twin Cities area,
it's about the search for a serial killer. But in an era of
widespread police corruption and very low-tech policing
techniques, the cops aren't even really aware that they're
dealing with a serial killer.
It won the Edgar for Best Novel a few years ago, and I
enjoyed it quite a bit. I'd stop short of comparing Clark to
Hammett, however.
