A dog’s murder leads detective Masuto to a most unusual poisoning
case In Beverly Hills, murder has suddenly gone out of style. For five
weeks, the head of the city’s tiny homicide squad, Zen detective
Masao Masuto, has worked only robbery investigations. But after more
than a month without a corpse, this dry spell is about to end. The
dead woman is Ana Fortez, a Chicana whose death was originally
classified as terminal food poisoning brought on by a feast of
botulism-infested éclairs. But because botulism can only grow in an
airtight space, the medical examiner warns Masuto that the fatal
bacteria must have been purposefully injected into the pastry. When a
wealthy housewife’s dog drops dead after munching on premium
chocolates, Masuto finds that her bonbons have been laced with the
same toxin. He begins a search for a killer targeting the sweet tooth
of Beverly Hills—proof that crime in Southern California never stays
boring for long. This ebook features an illustrated biography of
Howard Fast including rare photos from the author’s estate.
