Captain Rudy Beauregard is facing a dilemma; is there a serial murderer working his evil in Western Mass or is it just the coincidence of too many drunk drivers out there?

Produktbeschreibung
Captain Rudy Beauregard is facing a dilemma; is there a serial murderer working his evil in Western Mass or is it just the coincidence of too many drunk drivers out there? He and his detectives think it's murder. What took police so long to see what was right in front of them. Perhaps it is the weapon used? Or, maybe, the choice of victim confounds their logic? Why kill elderly men who are all so near to meeting their maker? What kind of perpetrator would kill the most fragile in society? The killer is not looking for notoriety. The killer leaves no trace behind for identification. What could be the motive? Could it be mercy killing? The weapon almost precludes this from motive. And what does the old east/west cross-country Route 20 have to do with these murders? Again, we gain insights into policing and the methodology of doggedly pursuing a killer with few clues available. MCU Captain Rudy Beauregard and his detectives find it questionable when good men die from accidents on the side of roads. Beauregard does not believe in coincidence stating often that despite their plausibility, coincidence in criminal justice cases must always be followed with investigation; whether that investigation is authorized. Off they go, his detectives, looking for bits of information from which to map what is going on. They notice commonalities about the victims and the knowledge confounds them. COVID-19 interferes with Beauregard's normal interviewing process.
Autorenporträt
Beryl Kent and Mixed Motives is K. B. Pellegrino's eighth mystery novel in the Captain Beauregard Series and her second with Beryl Kent as a leading character. Her passion for murder mystery arises from her childhood. At an early age, K. would steal her father's whodunnits from his suitcase and shamelessly read about murder. Her experience as a Commissioner on the Springfield, MA Police Commission fostered her writing in the police procedural genre. She holds a B. S. in engineering from Boston University, and an MBA from Western New England University. Her technical writing was honed by her careers as a CPA, A Licensed Construction Supervisor in MA, 20 years of professorship in Economics and Business at Westfield State University, and other endeavors. Mystery writing allows her to take off the handcuffs of precise technicalities and feel free to explore sociopathy, morality, murder, and life in a small city.
