Lighterman's Hitch

About the Book

A serial rapist is loose in San Diego, and Juliet Lighterman is his tenth victim. Luckily, during the attack, she unmasks her assailant, recognizing him as the leering bartender she encountered earlier that evening. An arrest is made, and the Chief of Police is all smiles (this being an election year). But not for long.

Murray Carrick, attorney for the defense, suspects foul play; and all clues seem to snake their way to the doorstep of Adrian Lighterman: the rape victim's father.

So get out your magnifying glass (you'll need it to read between the lines), grab a snack, and prepare for mischief and "serendipity" to co-mingle. The result is Lighterman's Hitch.
