The Widowmaker: Heat of The Night
John Roméo has an eye for beauty and a nose for murder
John Roméo is a jet-setting, multimillionaire author/screenwriter, film producer and former LAPD homicide wiz is being begged to return to solve just one more big crime. If he does, his former partner, and longtime friend, Gerald Li won't stop until the job is done.
A baffled LAPD struggles to solve the brutal murders of super-rich, super-famous married men, including one of the world's top golfers, a high-tech company founder, and a renowned mega-evangelist. They, and their lovers, are caught in 'the act', and murdered by blasts from a .44 magnum. The revenge of angry wives? Perhaps.
Call John Roméo, a self-assured, 41 year-old, ex-LAPD homicide whiz, turned multi-millionaire author/screenwriter/criminology professor. Roméo has 'an eye for beauty and a nose for murder.'
But the hunter becomes the hunted. Roméo may not survive this time, but he will not go down easy. And he will not go down alone.
