Unlike most of her university colleagues, Professor Elise Mayhew is universally liked by students and staff alike. And, despite working flat out to finish her current book project, she is more than generous in helping her students. So when she is discovered shot dead in her home, Jack Stryker's instincts suspect a domestic homicide. But with Elise's travelling salesman husband away, the truth is going to be more elusive . . .
Ricky Sanchez isn't going to lose any sleep over the murder of a professor. Because Ricky Sanchez is dead too, his body found on unsavoury French Street, a place populated by drunks and drug addicts, close to the hospital where he worked part-time. His death has all the hallmarks of a mugging gone wrong, except that days before, Ricky had called the police station in much distress . . .
Brilliantly conceived and perfectly plotted, 'Ricochet' is another wonderful whodunnit from the mistress of the genre.
