Revenge from beyond the grave
Synopsis: Years ago, one of the guys in the college gang married the girl in the gang--then later on, murdered her. Another one of the gang, who was in love with her, has sworn revenge and spent the last 6 years looking for the killer. A PI finally finds him--in the morgue, having died happy at his Malibu estate with a drink in his hand and his latest girlfriend in his bed. The protagonist thinks the killer got off way too easy, and decides to get the assistance of a practitioner of the occult in achieving revenge in the afterlife.
What I thought: I read Salvage and Demolition a couple of months ago and absolutely loved it, so I had high hopes for this. I thought it was good, but it didn't quite get to "great" for me. I would have liked to have gotten to see a little more of what was behind the protagonist's life history and motivations. Worth reading.
