The phone never stops ringing at the Glendale, Calif. police department but there's no extended coverage in the follow-ups by Det. Varallo and Lt. O'Connor of a hit-and-run accident killing a mother and two children, three flower children growing pot in flower pots, repeated dog-nappings and ransom demands, rape, robbery, a young girl's suicide and on. It's a multiple choice procedural and if you get tired of one question you can move on to the next without missing out on much of anything.

***COURTESY OF TWOBEARS BOOKS*** Gloria Carson was a pretty girl even with a black eye and a swollen jaw. She was flat in the hospital bed with the sheet drawn up tight, and she looked pale and sorry for herself. At the sight of the badges she looked frightened. - "We'd just like to hear what you can tell us about this, Miss Carson. Who did this to you?" - "I d-don't know," she s... more »aid in a thin voice. "It was a strange man,I never saw him before. Well, I didn't see him at all because it was dark. It was the middle of the night. I was in bed, and I don't know how he got in, I suppose he jimmied the door or something I woke up, I guess I heard a noise, and he was there a burglar. A burglar. And I was too scared to scream, but I made a noise and he and he kept hitting me and I guess I passed out. When I came to he was gone but I was hurting so bad I couldn't move I don't know any more to tell you, that's all." She turned her face away and shut her eyes.

A Choice of Crimes

Was it a miracle-or a murderous masquerade? Los Angeles attorney Jesse Falkenstein has some chilling, all-too-true-to-life bedside reading; a case from "Unsolved Mysteries of the Twentieth Century". Twenty years ago, on a sweltering September night, a child named Tommy Traxler was kidnapped from his nursery. His parents paid a $100,000 ransom-but never saw their son again. Now someone claiming to be long-lost Tommy Traxler has suddenly appeared...on the doorstep of his wealthy (now widowed) mother. Much to the dismay of Jesse Falkenstein's client - heretofore Mrs. Traxler's sole heir and assign. All of which leads our counselor through a tangled web of deceit, treachery and murder before he learns the unbelievable truth about the restless ghost of little Tommy Traxler.
