Blind Belief A Katlin LaMar Mystery by Sherri L. Board ISBN 0-9705049-6-9 softcover $12.95 Katlin LaMar, an Orange County Probation Officer assigned to the Gang Violence Suppression Unit has a sense of foreboding when she answers a cry for help. Katlin discovers a dying woman, whom she instantly recognizes as Maria Esparza, the mother of Miguel "Mooch" Esparza, the young boy being detained for the murder of Katlin's godson. Maria's dying word, "Todopodenso," sets into motion a tale of intrigue, deceit, and violence. The motive for Maria's murder eludes Katlin as she asks herself - was it a random act of violence? Gang retaliation? Or is it related to the trafficking of black-tar heroin. This mystery combines character exploration with the gritty detail of the police procedural. |
