Murder by Masquerade
reviewed on + 167 more book reviews


The cops have dubbed him "The Boulevard Butcher"/ His caling cards are a written invitation and a taste for mutilation. His prey are the prositutes plying their trade on the streets of the Texas panhandle's leaziest district.

With 2 women slaughtered, all the p;ice have to go on is a taunting letter from the maniac and a missing witness who, finally turns up as a corpse number three. But one of the victims had the good sense to be a client of Texas lawyer John lloyd Branson.

With his usual billiant aplomb and the eager assistance of the lovely law student Lydia Fairchild, Branson finds a familiar method in the madness, that of one of history's 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.
