Pool of Blood — Mike Jackson

Pool Of Blood is the third and final book of the Becker Trilogy, and Jim Scot Books #24.   In this book, Bob Becker, his wife Michelle, and some other help, try to right a wrong.  A man is convicted of murder due to having stepped into a pool of blood near the body of a murdered woman, whom he had been arguing with only hours before she was killed.  During his investigation, Bob also deals with someone trying to kill Michelle.  The case of the man wrongly convicted leads Bob to Australia, where he is assisted by old friend, now-Colonel Walter Kilgorie, an ASIS Agent, and others…including Jim and Holly Scott.No matter how smart a criminal may be, his misdeeds almost always catch up with him.  In this story, six bad guys have to face their crimes in various ways.  One somehow manages to escape the justice he probably deserves, while another gets more than he might have bargained for.  This case takes Jim and Holly Scott, and Bob Becker from Missouri to France, then on to Australia.  During the Australian portion of the trip, Hector Garcia joins them.  The four also make a stop at the Solomon Islands—where the three Marines visit the sands of Guadalcanal, to pay homage to the Marines who died there.
