I really enjoyed these tapes; but I'm a big D.R.Meredith fan. Couldn't ever find this in a book; so was happy to get to lisen to it.This is abridged 4 tape set, the cover is rough. from the back:
A murder's run amock in Amarilla. The cops have dubbed him "The Boulevard Butcher." His calling cards are a written invitation and a taste for multilation. His prey are the prostitutes plying their trade on the streets of the Texas panhandle's sleaziest district.
With two women slaughtered, all the police have to go on is a taunting letter from the maniac and a missing witnesswho finally turns up a corpse numberthree. But one of the victims had the good sense to be a client of Texas lawyer John Lloyd Branson.
With his usual brilliant aplomb- and the eager assitance of the lovely law student Lydia Fairchild-Branson finds a familiar method in the madness; that of one of historys most notorious serial killers. And if Branson's hunch is right, the last murder will be the most unspeakable. Unless Branson can set a trap using Lydia as bait.
