Murder Season

Murder Season
by Robert Ellis

Summer is the murder season. This year it comes early with a high profile bang. Two men are found shot to death in Club 3 AM, a hot spot that caters to Hollywood's A-list. One victim is the owner, Johnny Bosco and the other one is Jacob Gant. Gant was tried and acquitted in a court of law for the brutal murder of his next-door neighbor, Lily Hight. He was also tried in the court of public opinion, which found him guilty. Gant enlisted Bosco's help to find out who really killed Lily. LAPD detective, Lena Gamble is assigned to investigate this volatile crime. She learns that the detectives who investigated Lily Hight's death immediately zeroed in on Gant as the killer and did not look at any other suspects. Lena is puzzled by some of the evidence and quietly re-opens Lily Hight's case. As she follows the evidence trail Lena encounters a wall of resistance from the original detectives and from the District Attorney's office. This fast paced novel kept me engrossed to the end.
