Murder by the Book [A Nick Bancroft Mystery]

Date Rape Leads To Murder. When Nick Bancroft, a reporter who inherits a run-down detective agency and is hired to investigate a case of date rape, he hopes for a financial double-play, getting paid for both solving the case and for writing the story of how he solved it! But, soon Bancroft finds himself in over his head, when he runs into a couple of homicides so cleverly plotted they constitute a case of "murder by the book." Next, he becomes the target of a shooter determined to kill to protect some dirty secrets, the wrath of his stormy lover, Maggie Atley, and the scorn of a visiting detective. Bob Liter's detective novels are full of "twists and turns. Real Loo-Loos!" says Detra Fitch in <I>Huntress Book Reviews</I>
