"Texas Weather" With a Twist

Welcome to Dallas! This book will take you there, to post WW2 Dallas. We follow David Weather, assistant DA, as he makes discoveries about himself and the case he is investigating.In his office at the Dallas County Criminal Courts Building he gets an unwelcome visit from Francy Cotton, news reporter. She has a theory that David's father, a former district attorney, was murdered. He knows that his dad died in a plane crash. He tries to avoid Francy and her questions. He is too busy investigating an accused serial murderer, Philip Broadman, and dealing with his fiancee who thinks David spends too much time on his job and not enough on his personal life, and dealing with Hank Callaway, who suspects David of having an affair with his wife. But why would this reporter think that his dad was murdered when everybody knows that Tom Weather died in a plane crash?He won't talk about it.But Francy is persistent. She goes to David's mother to ask questions. David is not amused. He confronts Francy who claims that David has some half-brothers and sisters as a result of his father's many affairs.Later Francy explains to another reporter, Jane Alder, why she thinks there is something fishy about the plane crash in which David's father was killed. She has some convincing evidence. She also knows about the accused serial killer, Philip Broadman, a shipping line scion from Houston. Broadman could have been behind the call that set her on this investigation of Tom Weather's death. She suspects that Broadman wants her to annoy David with an investigation of his father. Or is there more to it than just an annoyance?Throughout the book there are hints of a deeper intrigue and complications that keep the reader asking his/her own questions about what's going on here. It occurs to the reader that there must be some connection between the Broadman investigation, Hank Callaway's demotion to the misdemeanor division, the plane crash, Tom Weather's many affairs, and a young sadistic killer.I don't usually read mysteries but since I live in Dallas I decided to give this book a try and was not disappointed.Don't wait for the movie when you can read the book now.
