The Left-Handed Policeman — Robert Westbrook

A killer is on the loose in Beverly Hills. Late at night, as moguls, starlets, actors, and rock stars head home after a night on the town, a Corvette pulls up beside a Rolls Royce at a traffic light. A gun goes off, and another of Hollywood's elite lies dead. Beverly Hills cowers in terror. It's up to Police Lt. Nicky Rachmaninoff, reluctant cop, ex-hippie, divorced father, and the meanest left-handed jazz pianist in all of L.A., to trap the murderer before he dispatches all of Southern California's rich and famous. It's an assignment Nicky is reluctant to take on: He'd rather play the piano, worry about his love life, or gaze at the stars above his Hollywood Hills bungalow than search out a serial killer.
