It's Christmas in Houston, and homicide detective Roland March is on the hunt for a killer. A young woman's brutal stabbing in an affluent neighborhood bears all the hallmarks of a serial murder. The only problem is that March sent the murderer to prison ten years ago. Is it a copycat -- or did March convict the wrong man? Alienated from his colleagues, and with a growing rift in his marriage, March receives a series of taunting messages from the killer. The bodies pile up, the pressure builds, and the violence reaches too close to home. Up against an unfathomable evil, March struggles against the clock to understand the hidden message in the pattern of wounds. Praise for Back on Murder "Bertrand's got a pitch-perfect ear for dialogue. The cop-talk, for fans of the tough guy genre, hits the right note every time." -- Comment "Bertrand's well-plotted and tightly written novel offers glimmers of a world beyond the gritty Houston streets his cop must roam." - World

This book is the second in a series about homicide detective Roland March and takes place in Houston, Texas. It begins with the murder of a young woman who was stabbed to death and then grotesquely stabbed after death. The murder scene is similar to another murder that Roland March solved and he feels that it might be a copy cat murder. He believes the murderer might have read the book written about the first murder. Roland March has problems of his own to deal with as well: getting along with his co-workers and adjusting to his wife?s conversion to Christianity. His integrity is being questioned as well as his methods in solving the first murder. This was a book that was hard to put down and I will look forward to other books in this series. I enjoy mysteries and if you read books written by John Lescroart, I?m sure you will like this one also. I received this book from Bethany House Publichers in exchange for writing a review.
