A murder staged as a railroad accident soon leads Acting Sheriff Robert Schwimer to the cold case shotgun death of a sociopath teenager. Before long he is investigating a series of murders and kidnappings, the disappearance of a prostitute and a serial arsonist, and he's exhuming the grave of a long dead rape suspect. Between the current sheriff's corruption scandal, the State Coroner fighting with the County Medical Examiner for control of the autopsy, plus too many suspects, Bob is racing across the Massachusetts South Shore to neutralize the killers before they neutralize him. Other works by Richard Howes: Praise for Julie Rayzor; "Crisp, fast-paced action novel... Writing style is very impressive... usually found in male adventures, yet his heroine is a woman in love... he pulls off the balancing act between realistic feminine energy and highly effective tough combat... Successfully blends all three genres: sci-fi, a love story, and a war story, and it works on all three levels... Great dialogue in this entertaining novel... Elmore Leonard type: short, character-revealing, and advancing the story conflict. And conflict is everywhere... I will not give away any secrets in the plot... I won't tell you about the train scenes, wow, you'll have to discover those yourself. I will say that the love story kicks in like an afterburner..." says John Hill, author and screenwriter of "Quigley Down Under," "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" (uncredited), "LA Law" and "Quantum Leap."
