Deaths In L. A. Random-Style.,
By Betty Burks "Betty Burks" (Knoxville, TN) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Death-Bringers (Curley Large Print Books) (Paperback)
To everything there is a season, and a time for every purpose under the heavens. I'd like to think there is also a reason. A cop's reasoning as he gets drunk: it looks as if the time is marked out for each of us. This much and no more for some reason or no reason. I'm all for morality and going to church and so on.Lt. Mendoza of the L.A. Homicide Squad drove a big black Ferrari and drank rye. Searching for a murderer (or two), bank robbers to boot, he finds himself in the oldest part of Los Angeles (technically, a slum) near the railroad yards, the Civic Center, the freeway exchanges and all the narrow old streets going in every direction. He is looking for a bum called Walter Williams. Is he a witness to one or more of the offenses or is he the perpetrator? His concern is only in finding revenge for the death of his colleague, Sgt. Dwyer. It had been a random death, which always stalked the streets of this city at random. Sticks and stones; words can be dangerous things. The domestic interweaving with the police talk and lurid details about criminals' records, past and present. Some detail about cars and guns. Nothing first class about this murder mystery. Nothing good to say about the City of Angels. Frankly, I expected more dignified death notes from Dell Shannon.
