Summary
Someone is killing alumni of a fraternity — and homicide detective Dean Warren has no idea why. As he unravels the mystery of two murders, and more that follow, his search for a serial killer leads to a long list of suspects and several dead ends. Dean has always captured the killer quickly, so what is different this time?
In the process of solving the mystery, he forges a friendship with Lydia James, the ex-wife of the first victim. It doesn’t take long for him to be distracted from his quest. She is all he can think about.
Dean knows he will capture the murderer eventually, but he wonders how to capture Lydia’s heart. It will be no little feat. Her ex-husband’s chronic infidelity has left mincemeat of her heart. She has to forgive before she can love again.
Will Dean’s love for her continue to hinder his progress? Can he catch the killer before all the Frat Pack die?
***
The main character has had a near death experience that left him committed to catching “the bad guys” so the world will be a better place. He considers it a calling.
The Dean Warren mysteries will be a series of three or more novels. Linda is presently writing the second one. (From the publisher.)
