MURDER DRAWS ANDREW BROOM INTO ITS FOLD

The victim, a client of Broom's, is gunned down in his backyard. But somebody sees the murder. An aging hippie and his nubile young companion seize this gold-en opportunity for blackmail. Ironically, it's Andrew Broom's maroon BMW that the couple steals. It's an act that teaches them a deadly lesson: a killer who kills once--will kill again.

Especially for a fortune buried in the murdered man's backyard. The killer's carefully orchestrated plan is coming to fruition. He's had some good advice--especially from Andrew Broom. But Broom is sharp--perhaps too sharp for his own good. He's begun to put some interesting pieces of a puzzle together... with decidedly dangerous consequences.
