Saving an ex-wife might get Ross Malone into heaven but he'd have to die to get there, or is that the point? Maggie Warner's significant other wants something from her, bad enough to take it, no matter the cost. Only private detective Ross Malone stands in the way of Maggie paying the ultimate price. Rescuing her means skipping out on a district attorney who likes him for the murder of a local crime boss, even though the surviving daughter hires Ross to find the real killer. "Breeder," the latest "Ross Malone" thriller, will forever leave an indelible mark on the private detective and all he loves. Or is that the point?
