Feminist Mystery Reviews CHAMELEON Reviewed by Harriet Klausner The St. Louis police have noticed a recent increase in homicides, but no discernable pattern appeared to the law enforcement officials. Desperate to figure out what is happening in the Gateway City, the police turn to the relatively new Computerized Homicide Investigations Department, headed by Penelope Jennifer "PJ" Gray, a trailblazer in forensic simulation modeling. Using her virtual reality program, PJ is able to visualize the killer from the eyes of the victim. She begins to find the elusive pattern to the murders. Meanwhile, old fashioned detective Leo Schultz continues to pound the cement, seeing if he can break open the case. However, neither one of the police officers expected to find the identity of the killer to be a twelve-year-old ingenious misfit, who has chosen PJ's son as a future target. The information technology age meets forensic psychology in a novel that will leave readers stunned by its brilliance, ease of understanding, and entertainment value. Shirley Kennett is at her best. Anyone who enjoys forensic psychological investigations will enjoy CHAMELEON and Ms. Kennett's previous mysteries (FIRE CRACKER and GRAY MATTER).
