Habitations of Violence

By Lise Rosenthal

"A person can't even lay his head down on his own planet," complains a homeless man, as Sgt. Katie Kelly and her partner Isaac Flores investigate the murder of yet another denizen of Fresno's world renowned street population. Kelly, whose detective skills and sense of humor endeared her to many in A Stitch in Crime, explores every possibility, but the victims continue to fall. Every approach seems to lead to a dead end. Is the killer from the local Satanist community? Is he the disgruntled citizen who keeps popping up wherever they look? And what about Los Aztecas, the up and coming gang (or perhaps, as they claim, just a cultural group) with whom Flores' son has recently become involved? In the course of her investigation, Kelly meets and encourages youngish lovers Lexi and Lucky who are struggling to get clean, sober, employed and housed. But just when things are looking hopeless, the Tuesday Afternoon Quilters come up with a different perspective. Can Kelly and Flores identify the killer and stop him before he strikes again?
