Book Synopsis

Killings in the Alley

By: Augie Salzer

Detective Grant Steele had hoped to find a more peaceful existence at The Villages, a quiet, safe community of mostly retirees, but he soon finds himself immersed in a series of mysterious murders in the alley behind a complex housing a physical therapy practice, pizza parlor, and beauty shop. In Killings in the Alley, no one seems to be what they appear, all dealing with secrets and horrors in their own lives, past and present. During his investigation Steele navigates drug dealers, embezzlement, a superstitious physical therapist, a compulsive gambler, shady teenagers, mob-connected twins, and money launderers all to wrap up this massively complicated criminal case.
