Halloween is scary enough without people coming back from the dead!

Private eye Alton Rhode is angered when a police pal is critically wounded while handing out candy to Trick-or-Treaters. Then, a spate of child murders shocks the community. Rhode uncovers a connection between the crimes. What he learns is scarcely believable -- and puts him in the sights of a perverted killer hiding in plain sight.

"This was another terrific whodunit in the Alton Rhode mystery series. In each mystery, the methodology used by Rhode to solve the crime is completely plausible. That is one of the most fascinating points to these stories." (Amazon Review)

ALAS, PARIS (Thriller): "I have read many of De Maria's books, and find them unfailingly entertaining. Engaging dialogue, venues with enough descriptive detail to interest experienced travelers, scenes played out with gastronomic expertise, all while partnering with attractive and attentive characters of both sexes. And finally, for me, the writing in Chapter 14 was perfection.
