Butcher of Venice

By Irmgard Rawn and Irma Oestmann

"April is the cruelest month," wrote T. S. Eliot and for Lenny it has been a year full of cruel months since he caught his wife under the covers with their neighbor ~ a year complicated by the inexplicable disappearance of his new friend Claudia and ending with the slaughter of Diane Jenkins, the wife of his current client. Only hours before Diane's death, she arrives intoxicated at Lenny's beach cottage and seduces him against his finer instincts. Now, the detective is a prime suspect. His former LAPD partner Collins is outraged, though a tenacious feeling gets hold of him. Do I know my friend as well as I thought I did?While attempting to rescue his missing girl, avenge Diane's murder and prove his innocence, Lenny finds himself implicated by the LAPD in a mystery that intertwines the lives of three disparate couples from L.A. to Zurich in pursuit of a psychopathic killer.
