The big bad city : a novel of the 87th Precinct / Ed McBain.
A nun lies strangled in a city park. As Steve Carella and Artie Brown chase sister Mary Vincent's killer through the corridors of her past, another case blows up for them. When the burglar the papers call The Cookie Boy (because he leaves a dozen home-baked chocolate-chip-cookies at each crime scene as a thank-you) runs into a scene it ends in a double homicide. Meantime, Carella, all unaware, is being stalked by the street punk who killed the his father, beat the rap, and now worries that Carella will always be watching over his shoulder unless she pops a cap in him first.
