Murder Mystery! Detective series! Crime-drama!

Homicide Detective Lyle Odell returns once again in a new adventure!

In fictional and very gritty, Mohawk City in upstate New York, the respected and prominent, intellectual, and popular educator, Doctor Rochester Gilding, is the victim of a horrific homicide. In his own home, on a seemingly calm and placid autumn Saturday afternoon, a brutal killer slashes his throat, and then, in a fit of rage, plunges a military knife into the skull of Doctor Gilding.

To offer up the ultimate challenge to Detective Lyle Odell, the victim lived a hidden life. On the surface, Doctor Rochester Gilding was wealthy, popular, intellectual, professional, handsome, and charismatic, but when Lyle Odell begins to poke around in the victim's life, he finds that Doctor Gilding lived a hidden life full of darkness and questionable behavior. Since Doctor Gilding lived in a tight-knit and crowded community of townhouses, and he apparently offended everyone equally, the potential suspects are limitless.

Homicide Detective Lyle Odell assembles his elite crime-fighting team to track down the ruthless killer. With the aid of Sergeant George Grundy, Captain Connor Moore, Crime Scene Investigation genius, Sergeant Oliver Crump, and with newly recruited Officer Miles Bradford and with the strategic addition of a few brave civilians, Odell goes on the hunt to bring the killer to justice before he can kill once again. When the initial trail leads to a series of dead-end of clues, Detective Odell moves to the offensive in order to lure the killer out of his lair. That move takes a tragic twist, as Odell's best friend and crime-fighting companion, the faithful Patrol Sergeant George Grundy, displays his heroism in the heat of battle and it has tragic results. Amid tragedy, a driven and focused, Homicide Detective Lyle Odell will stop at nothing to bring the killer to justice.

This Detective Lyle Odell adventure has everything a crime-drama reader could want in a detective novel; a thrilling and complicated storyline, beautiful women, multiple suspects and plotlines and Detective Odell and the team, amongst the murder and mayhem, while poking around for mysterious clues. Tragedy! Suspense! Thrills!
