Product Description
Colorful Lt. Luis Mendoza makes his thirty-third appearance in Dell Shannon's highly praised and extremely popular detective series. Driving a customized Ferrari and wearing his black homburg, seasoned veteran Mendoza investigates the full range of big-city violence and crime, from the banal to the bizarre, all based on actual police records.
In 'The Motive on Record', Mendoza and his Los Angeles Police Department associates confront one of their most shocking cases ever - that of a brutal child rapist. With keen intuition and dogged persistence, they begin to track down their diabolically clever adversary.
At the same time, they must set about solving a number of other baffling crimes: an elderly fortune teller is murdered; a mysterious string of theater robberies takes place; a Vietnamese couple's eating habits lead to their violent deaths; child's play in a secret clubhouse results in tragedy.
Meanwhile, Alison Mendoza reads true murder mysteries for relaxation and tries to arrange for an overseas vacation, and Angel Hackett is adopted by a stray dog.
As always, Dell Shannon combines crime stories with insights into the very human nature of police life to create a highly entertaining mix that will delight her longtime fans and attract many new ones as well. Book Dust Jacket
