The Perfect Murder - Latent Embers
The first book in a new series called The Perfect Murder was released on August 23, 2019, this time under my own name.
How deep can passion burn? Deep enough for a man to kill another? Most people tend to think of crimes of passion as something quixotic or as spur-of-the-moment events. But passion can be like latent embers, smoldering under the kindling, quietly waiting until the moment is ripe. Then, suddenly, they burst into furious flames devouring everything around in an all-consuming inferno. Stanley’s life was ideal up until two years ago - or so he thought. Then, out of the blue, his wife tells him that she has fallen in love with another man and she wants a divorce. Stanley’s hurt turns to rage and he decides to kill his wife’s lover. He begins a meticulous, year-long plan that will leave no motive, no witnesses, and no body. The Perfect Murder. He even enlists the unknowing help of the police to know what he will be up against. Behind the background of government corruption, follow the action through the streets of San Francisco, riding roughshod in dune buggies over the ocean beach sands, to Hannigan’s, a local Irish sports bar, and through a blazing, out-of-control forest fire in the wine country. Every stop is a piece in the puzzle of a perfectly planned murder, one that will have national political repercussions.
