Reprisal Road: A Joe Erickson Mystery - Paperback

by Lynn-Steven Johanson (Author)

Chicago Detective Joe Erickson arrives at an apartment where a young woman, an up-and-coming model, has been found murdered. Discovered at the scene are dead roses, along with a card reading "Sic semper scortilla," Latin for "thus always to bitches." A week later, another young woman, also a model, is found murdered in her apartment. Dead roses and a card with the same message are found at this scene as well. Who killed these women? And what is the significance of the dead roses and the card? With no clues as to the identity of the perpetrator, Joe and his partner begin an investigation that eventually leads them to disturbing revelations about what motivated the crimes and who was responsible.
