POLICE PROCEDURAL MYSTERY
AN ANIMATED DEATH IN BURBANK
Each novel in this compelling new series about Los Angeles
cops will deal with a unique and fascinating Los Angeles
milieu. In her first outing, Detective Sandra Cameron
finds out that drawing cartoons can be deadly, especially
when you are as original and unorthodox as cartoonist
extraordinaire Parker Stewart. When the talented but
deceased Mr. Stewart is found lying next to a note
reading: "That's All, Folks," most people assume he
committed suicide. Detective Cameron and her colleague
Detective Sergeant Tom Rigby suspect Mr. Stewart met a
much darker demise, one that included some unasked-for
assistance. They are even more suspicious after a
beautiful dead girl, another cartoon industry insider, is
found floating in her tub. The two cops decide to combine
forces, and their relationship teeters on the somewhat
fluid boundary between their professional and personal
lives. Tom has just been betrayed by an ex-wife, and he
is distressed by his feelings for Sandra. She, on the
other hand, has her own very comfortable life. She has to
ask herself whether romance on the job is ever a good
idea, and does she really need a man in her life? What she
has in her life is a cold-blooded murderer, and as Tom and
Sandra struggle with their personal demons, including the
ongoing unsolved case involved in Sandra's brother, a
devilish killer is concocting some chilling scenarios.
