Cardinal

A redheaded woman shows up alone at a roadside bar with a bullet in her head and no memory of who shot her or even who she is. Cardinal and Delorme investigate.

As the number of victims rises, the detectives focus their attentions on a local gang of bikers-especially the gang’s chief enforcer, a man known as “Wombat.”

Cardinal and Delorme finally figure out who Red is and that she might be deceiving them. But not before she makes one final elusive move.

Terri cooperates with the police to track down her shooter. They get a big break in the case, though at great personal cost to Delorme.

After another murder, the detectives make a connection between the victim, Terri’s brother, an ex-con, and a man who calls himself “Northwind.”

Cardinal and Delorme believe they have to find the killer before the new moon, when he is likely to strike again. But could they be the ones in the most danger?
