    About this ebook

    "Detective Jack Dunning and his partner Jim Tunney have their hands full. Two young boys have turned up dead within a two-month period on the same stretch of lonely highway outside the small agricultural town of Santa Paulina, California. Are they the victims of the same illusive hit-and-run sedan that mowed down rookie cop, Curley McDaniel? Or are they part of a darker, more sinister plot?


    Jack's beautiful young girlfriend, Angel Doll, has problems of her own when a man from her troubled past tries to abduct her off the street in broad daylight. Clues lead investigators to a school teacher who isn't the drab little mouse she pretends to be, the mysterious Deutschlander Social Club, and a wealthy pedophile who makes late night forays into the dark heart of Chinatown..."
