Someone is murdering people in a series patterned after the seven deadly sins (Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy and Wrath). Sommerset and Mills start on the first case, Gluttony, together. They find the most obese man they have ever seen ("Somebody call Guinness," says Mills) dead at his dinner table. He has been forced to eat himself to death. It sounds farfetched. It isn't. Their precinct captain wants them to investigate as a team, but Sommerset quickly pulls the plug. He has had a premonition, and not only does he not want to be involved in the case...
Manhattan's demimonde of the 1980s has ravaged many a fictional character, but few as mercilessly as Adrian Sellars, an art gallery owner whose troubles are mounting like so many empty bottles of opening-night Mondavi.

Their songs aren't designed to shock listeners, like Madonna's; instead, in casual language they turn common sexual experience and longing into music. "My mom asks me, 'Why do y'all sing about so much sex?'" says Jodeci's Dalvin (all the group...
Thimblerigger, played by Julie A. Terrell, is the next character to electrify the stage. As the reincarnation of Mum's lust and anger, she is so dynamic one expect a shower of sparks every time her whip lashes out or she stops just short of trampling a monkey. Her boldness and sharpness are terrific...
