SYNOPSIS:
Discover on Coverfly.com
They’ve got murders they can't solve. They don't want John Roméo, but they sure as hell need him.
Roméo has an eye for beauty and a nose for murder. (A Franchise character)
Roméo is a modern-day Virgil Tibbs with attitude, a gun, a sex drive, and no tolerance for b.s.
A serial killer with an elaborate m.o. and macabre sense of humor is loose in LA.
But this killer, who defies the FBI profile, is unlike any the LAPD has ever encountered. The victims are prominent, super-wealthy, married men—including a Supreme Court nominee—involved in adulterous affairs. They and their lovers are found murdered by close-range blasts from a .44 magnum.
Even jaded, veteran homicide cops are horrified by the brutality, intrigued by the
killer's consistency, and baffled by the apparent amount of time spent by the killer at the post-crime scene. What's more, this killer has a penchant for 60's music, particularly Sam Cooke's 'Frankie and Johnny.' Why? Is it the work of vengeful wives?
Perhaps. Someone wants the cops to think so. A battered police department feuding with the FBI slams into a brick wall.
Solution: Call John Roméo (he insists Ro-may-o). Roméo is a cocky, Harlem-born, 40-year-old retired L.A.P.D. homicide whiz turned multi-millionaire Beverly Hills author/screenwriter/professor with an international reputation for solving crimes. Some question his name, his style, and a self-confidence that borders on cockiness, but no one questions his expertise. You either love or hate Roméo; there is no in-between. He has an eye for beauty and a nose for murder.
