Action-packed. No extraneous scenes. Would be a great flik, given modern movie technology. The Unicorn's propensity to indulge in horrendous sex with young teenage girls was startling. Cruelty and cleverness in general was his forte. He was a sociopath motivated by money and dreams of a nonvillainous luxurious future. Lorne Simpkins, the police inspector, was well-drawn and had a conflict common to many neofeminists: Was she in love with her husband or would she be happier with another man? The primary plot was could Lorne catch the murderous Unicorn, but the subplots and the interesting characters were what made the thriller fascinating for me.  The conclusion was original and unusual, but it was really a segue into the author's next book in the series.Author of Behind the Black Robes: Failed Justice
