More about "Final Notice": Someone's been cutting up in the Hyde Park Library - cutting up books, that is. And the head librarian wants it stopped. After all, those art books cost money to replace and, then the way they're been torn up... well, that's enough to chill anybody, even hard-nosed Cincinnati detective Harry Stoner, the tough, amiable private eye of this mystery by Jonathan Valin. Harry knows at once that this is no ordinary vandal, not after what this one had done to all the pretty pictures in the art books. But what Harry doesn't know is those pictures aren't the only things the vandal has been cutting up. With the unlikely help of a little old librarian and a very liberated young woman named Kate Davis, Harry picks up a trail that leads to a butchered girl and to a bizarre psychopath who plans to keep on killing until someone stops him. And with the Hyde Park Ripper, that's no easy thing to do...
