April Evil — Carter Swart

Carter Swart, a great American writer, brings Lou Corso-the tough ex-LAPD cop-back for a new mystery. In April Evil-the latest adventure in the series that began with Deceived by Death, and continued with Insufficent Evidence and The End Game-Lou is a changed man. He has a new love affair, he's quit drinking, and is trying to repair his relationship with his estranged daughter, Cordelia. Life would seem to be good, very good. But Lou lives in a dangerous world. So when bad things begin to happen, Lou must struggle to maintain his fragile hold on his new life while doing battle with an insidious serial killer who may be involved in the kidnaping of a young girl that Lou is searching for. Still, Lou always finds a way to mete out justice according to his own code and in April Evil, retribution is coming.
