      About This Book

      September is the worst month for heat in Southern California...and LAPD Lieutenant Luis Mendoza is feeling the burn as the sweltering temperatures raise tempers and violence. Heading the list is the bizarre murder of a young French girl - a search that eventually leads Mendoza to Paris. An old man smothered in his hospital bed...a polite holdup artist nicknamed Baby Face...a Hollywood matron who disappears while visiting a sick friend...the grisly murder of a family who has just moved from Wisconsin - keep the skillful Mendoza and his force pounding the scorching pavements in a crime wave that, like the heat, offers no relief in sight
