Operation Alcestis

Guy Silvestri Mystery #2

by Maggie Rennert

A simple felony-murder? That's what it appeared to be, when the conservative Lambert professor was found dead, immediately after a "raid" by a motley assortment of counter-culture types. — In fact, one of the raiders had even left behind a credit card, and an eye-witness ready to point a finger. So when the beautiful girl named Allie confessed, the case seemed closed.

But to Detective Lieutenant Guy Silvestri, the Buxford police department's wizard of town-gown problems, there was the strong odor of Trouble in the city's air.

And in the middle of all the commotion, Guy Silvestri found himself frantically maneuvering and manipulating all the forces - TO PROTECT THE IDENTITY OF THE REAL KILLER!
