Hot Salome — Jeffrey Buller

Every detective has that one case-the one that lingers in their mind, unresolved, unsettling. Maybe it was a case they never solved, one where justice slipped away on a technicality, or worse, one where they fear they got it all wrong. For D.T. Giovanni, now chief inspector of the Allemonde Grand-Ducal Police, that case was his very first. Four decades ago, when he was still a traffic cop, Chief Inspector Ansgar Ziegler brought him into the investigation of a suspicious death. Giovanni and Ziegler were certain the victim's wife had poisoned him-but without proof, the case went cold. Now, forty years later, she's returned to Allemonde. And, within days, another poisoning shocks the duchy. As past and present collide, Giovanni must finally uncover the truth before history repeats itself. With unforgettable characters and a plot as compelling as a masterpiece by Richard Strauss, Hot Salome is truly a mystery on an operatic scale!
