If you are a fan of bullys getting their comeuppance, you are, no doubt, enjoying the Beckett series. There are often side bars where he helps someone in need and sends the thugs to the hospital. The main plot of this one is a bit different, however. This time the perp (Leonard) is not a professional killer. He is a schizophrenic who had a very abusive childhood. He was taken in by a couple that eventually killed the children. But a killer he is nonetheless. He thinks he needs a witness so he kidnaps O'Connor. Although she escapes, they still need to stop Leonard. Lots of action!
