Dawson's Web William a Hutchison

A thirty-year LAPD detective, Fred McCallister, was hoping to cruise quietly into retirement. Instead, he's drawn into an investigation of a schizophrenic serial killer, Jeffrey Dawson, who, as it turns out, only murders women who resemble his stepmother. Set in New York and Southern California, Dawson's Web is woven around a cast of supporting characters with often questionable agendas of their own. Charlene, a beautiful aspiring actress, gets involved with a not-too-bright blackmailer, Randy. Hans, a real estate mortgage broker under investigation by the SEC, becomes one of Charlene and Randy's victims, but he retaliates by soliciting the aid of his long-time mobster friend, Giovanni. But before Giovanni can track down Charlene and Randy, they escape to Los Angeles. In LA, their lives intersect with the lives of those who are similarly caught up in their own webs of deceit, adultery, and depravity. Like his previous novels, Gulf Crisis III, Dust In the Wind, and Sigma One, William A. Hutchison has delivered another page-turning thriller in Dawson's Web, and it guarantees to have the reader guessing to the end.
