Bücher der Reihe Making of Detective Neal Randolph

Two well intended, but naïve, young citizens are drawn into the world of a sexual predator. Neal Randolph, 16, is desperate to shed the guilt that has haunted him since his role in his mother's death. So when the mother of his girlfriend is raped at the apartment complex where he works, and he's asked to secretly right the wrong, he can't say no. At the same time, Detective Delores Sanchez, a young Latina has gone undercover to stop the reign of a serial offender, but it has driven her straight to her psychiatrist's window, where high up, and off in the distance, a lone gray cloud appears to be lost. She can relate because far off, in the back of her mind, Delores has a dark cloud of her own - an innermost secret that she has never, ever, ever told anybody. Not her family, nor her friends, nor her priest. Nobody. Although Neal and Delores are drawn into the turf of the same adversary, they each have reasons to keep their investigations a secret. That is... until there's a body.

Children who have no mothers seek bonding through substitutes. Stump, a 19-year-old criminology student, would do anything for his dementia-riddled adoptive grandmother, who is confined to a couch of a Memory Care facility. He would pay for her care, drive across country to find her BFF's family treasure, take on a conniving health care administrator, or even risk his own life.Meanwhile he has problems of his own. Its about time he be allowed to manage his own trust. He has three million dollars to work with. It shouldn't be difficult to make enough money to live on. All he has to do is replace his trustee, convert an old run-down commercial building into a thriving breakfast restaurant, solve a cold case murder and overcome the storm of the century.

When it comes to the law, both the bad guys and good guys come in various forms. In Zero Degree Murder, the reader will go back to the seventies in Los Angeles, California and follow a largely true story about a fascinating officer named Allen Padget, who may have gone insane had he not gone undercover and infiltrated quite a few nefarious groups over time, including the KKK. You'll also observe a clever criminology student who gets right to the verge of graduation and must elect to either get his diploma or become involved in a bizarre case in which a husband and wife kill each other at different times and in different places.When it's all over the two men, who could have been grandfather and grandson, come together in a cloak-and-dagger meeting and reveal their long held secrets.
