“The Kathleen Mallory series by Carol O’Connell follows Kathy Mallory, an NYPD detective with a troubled past and an unsettling personality. Raised by Detective Louis Markowitz after he found her living on the streets as a child, Mallory grew up to join the police force. Her intelligence and computer abilities are matched by her lack of empathy and willingness to bend rules.”
“The series ran from 1994 to 2016, with 12 novels that take Mallory through increasingly complex cases. Each book reveals a little more about her past and her relationships with colleagues like Detective Riker. The mysteries themselves range from art world killings to cross-country crime sprees, but Mallory’s character is always the main draw.”
