Download or read book Murder at the La Jolla Apogee written by Robert Rogers and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2018-01-27 with total page 375 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During real estate boom times, risks are overcome by ever improving market conditions. When the boom ends, as so often happens, lenders can get stuck with half finished projects and no ability to complete them. Lenders then sell the projects at a loss or hire someone like Marcus Flint to “work out” their problems, which is easier said than done. Flint is a recently diagnosed diabetic when he dies suddenly from a supposed seizure at the grand opening of the Apogee development in La Jolla—one of those “work out” projects. Bishop Bone is asked to write Flint’s memoir, but he soon comes to believe Flint’s death was actually murder. This realization could get Bone killed, as powerful people do not want the truth revealed. Details of Flint’s memoir have the power to expose those involved in the Apogee development and, possibly, in Flint’s death. To stay alive, Bone has to continue his investigation while ducking the project’s developer, terminated employees, Flint’s brother-in-law, jilted husbands, and yes, even Flint’s widow. Who knew real estate development was so dangerous?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “fast-paced, thoughtful true-crime” examines the cultural shifts of Jazz Age America through a beautiful dancer’s mysterious and scandalous death (Kirkus, starred review). In January 1923, twenty-year-old Fritzie Mann left home for a remote cottage by the sea to meet a man whose identity she had revealed to no one. The next morning, the dancer’s barely clad body washed up on Torrey Pines beach, her party dress and possessions strewn about the sand. The scene baffled investigators, and abotched autopsy created more questions than it answered. However, the investigation revealed a scandalous secret. When a Hollywood A-lister was arrested for Fritzie’s murder, it led to the most sensational trial in San Diego’s history. Set against the backdrop of yellow journalism, Prohibition Era corruption, and a lively culture war, Mystery At The Blue Sea Cottage tells the intriguing story of a beautiful dancer, a playboy actor, a debonair doctor, and a tragic mystery that remains unsolved to this day.

An ex-carnie sadist with a bullwhip mania . . . A lip-reading night club snooper . . . A hot-and-cold running murder tub . . .
