Justice waits for no one.Perfect for fans of Michael Connelly, Don Winslow, and Lisa Gardner.A cop killer, crooked cop, ambitious DA, smart-ass professor: a battle over a murdered homeless man in paradise.Escaping a prison inferno, the killer of two cops makes his way to San Costa, California’s coastal paradise, and hides among the homeless. When two military prep school youths savagely murder a homeless man, ‘Copkiller’s’ unhinged rage at social injustice places his personal freedom at risk. The homeless man’s murder also pitches the city’s powerful political and financial forces against each other. On one side is the corrupt and politically ambitious Chief of Police Bill Kincaid, who with the help of his stockbroker drug connections and secret mistress, is seeking statewide political office. Pitted against Kincaid is the young District Attorney Sheldon Feinstein, who needs to placate San Costa’s tourism conscious establishment. Caught in the middle (to his delight) is Dr. ‘Rafe’ St. Clair, a feisty, dog loving, professor, who has abandoned serious scholarship for fiction. His academic colleagues aren’t surprised. To most, he’s been writing fiction all along.Rafe’s distain for arbitrary authority, mixed with Kincaid’s threats to his well-being, drive his desire to cut short the Chief’s political career. Aided by ‘Peep’s’ McGuire, his lawyer pal’s quirky private investigator, the search for evidence of Kincaid’ drug connections and policing corruption, sends Rafe to Los Angeles. A dying AIDS patient’s guilt-ridden request to expose Kincaid his way, mixed with Rafe’s romantic chaos, put the amateur sleuth perilously ‘in over his head.’District Attorney Sheldon Feinstein also threatens Kincaid’s ambitions. His insistence on prosecuting the perp school killers jeopardizes the Chief’s plan to release Travis Foster. The punk gangster promises to ‘squeal’ on Kincaid’s drug connections if not set free.‘Yikes’ is the likely word for the political mayhem, murders and personal betrayal of CopKillerCop’s final pages.
