Includes: Root Of All Evil: Lieutenant Luis Mendoza #9, Los Angeles Police Department, likes nothing better than to wrap up his homicide cases neatly. The latest Jane Doe is identified as Valerie Ellis, a spoiled rich kid who was left penniless when her parents died four years ago. But there are many layers to this complex case. . . ., Mark Of Murder: Another Luis Mendoza #8 mystery. Ten murders in ten days, and the attempted murder of Sergeant Hackett--left fighting for his life in a coma--cut short Mendoza's vacation in Bermuda. Hackett was working on the "private kill" of a well-to-do chiropractor who had as many enemies as he had patients., The Death-bringers: Lt. Luis Mendoza #7. A daring bank robber turned cop killer gets top priority on the LAPD's list, while Mendoza and his squad also have to deal with the shooting of a young teenager. the seemingly senseless killings of two college students. and the murder of a "skid row" bum whose lifestyle hardly reflected what he was, a "hot-money" man in a number of headline heists. Coffin Corner: Lt. Luis Mendoza #11 - To a man, the members of the LAPD homicide department were yawning with unaccustomed inactivity. Then everything happened at once - a cop killed by a hit-and-run driver; the questionable suicide of a young girl; and the victim (apparently) of a heart attack found in the clutter of her 'second-hand' shop. It was the last that led Lieutenant Luis Mendoza to the Celtic Hotel, where events moved swiftly and with about as much clarity as the Mad Hatter's Tea Party. But, in this case, the tea party was lethal.
