Dying For Love: Night Heat

DYING FOR LOVE

Serial murder or murder for hire? Rich, famous, and powerful married men and their mistresses/lovers are being murdered, caught in the act, dispatched with blasts from a .44 Magnum. They're "Dying For Love" in the throes of -"Night Heat."

"What you won't do - do for love." The hit song is right. So, is love a mental disorder? What else explains the insatiable desire and motivation that makes one risk life, fame, power, wealth, social standing to bask in the glow and afterglow of "joygasm"-sexual gratification at any cost?

They're dying. Wealthy, powerful, influential married men, and their lovers (male and female) are being blown to hell by powerful blasts from a killer or killers wielding a .44 Magnum with hollow points. The vaunted LAPD is catching heat, and are once again forced to turn to a man they would rather eat nails than call.

A baffled LAPD struggles with unsolved murders of super-rich, super famous married men, including a tech billionaire, a renowned mega-evangelist, and a major-league baseball star. Each, and their lovers, are found murdered, victims of blasts from a .44 magnum.

Solution:
Call John Rom?o, a cocky former LAPD homicide whiz with an international reputation. He's a "retired" 42 year-old multi-millionaire author, screenwriter, and criminology professor with an "eye for beauty and a nose for murder. Even international agencies call upon his expertise: Interpol, Mosaad, Scotland Yard, even the CIA.

When the case is unsolvable, the LAPD eats the "nails" and call him anyway. But this time, the hunter becomes the hunted. Rom?o may not survive this time but he won't go down easy, and he won't go down alone.
