Summary of Joe Kenda's Killer Triggers

By IRB Media

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book.

#1 The police were called to a east-side laundromat where a customer had found a man shot in a nearby shopping center parking lot. The man had been dressed in pink running shorts, a red T-shirt, and fancy running shoes. He had been shot once. His wallet and its contents were intact, and his driver’s license identified him as Robert Elshire, 71, of Heber Springs, Arkansas.

#2 As a homicide detective, you are often the bearer of bad news. You must deliver it as gently as possible, because the heart never heals from this sort of tragedy.

#3 The Elshire family lost their patriarch, a good man, because a couple of dopes needed rent money, booze money, or drug money. The trigger pulls on those cheap guns are very light, and many automatically cock when a bullet is in the chamber.

#4 The two suspects were dopes, as they returned to the scene of the crime three and a half hours after killing their father. They were jealous of the attention Kenny was giving me, and they growled at him several times.
