About this ebook
Harry Rule, retired L.A. cop, worked as consultant for the private investigative team of Burr and Chalden.
Then someone killed a kid. Took the boy, who was a pawn pulled between divorcing parents, and shot him in the head, leaving him to die in a dirty, empty warehouse in a shabby part of town. Rule got a call from the killer. Now he had a clue. He'd track this man down if it was the last thing he ever did.
A 4900 word short story of suspense by the Edgar-Nominated author of more than 50 books.
