Murder by Moonlight - Dick Moonlight PI, Bk 4 Author:Vincent Zandri Would you try to save your son from a death sentence if he tried to murder you in your own bed? — In Murder by Moonlight, Vincent Zandri’s cunning detective Dick Moonlight returns with his toughest case yet: proving an open-and-shut murder investigation isn’t over at all. — Joan Parker is the last woman private eye... more » Dick Moonlight would ever expect to see in his Albany office. From the right side of the tracks—neighboring Bethlehem -- she bears her upper class upbringing as effortlessly as a string of pearls. She also bears a scar running down her head and face -- a brutal reminder of the ax attack that took the life of her husband. Her twenty-one-year-old son, Christopher, now sits in jail charged with the crime.
According to the official report -- based on Joan’s answers to police when they arrived at the house and found her barely alive -- she identified Christopher as the culprit. But sitting in Moonlight’s office, she reveals that she has no recollection of the event, yet is certain of one thing: Christopher didn’t do it.
Moonlight knows a thing or two about being nearly dead. And he also knows the tragedy of the police jumping to the wrong conclusions -- a past case of a falsely accused client still haunts him -- so he agrees to take the job and get to the truth of what happened that day. At first the trail of clues -- from the crime scene to Joan’s original accusation -- keeps the finger pointed at Christopher. But soon Moonlight turns up something he never expected, something more sinister than anything he’s ever come up against.« less
