Trouble for Tallon - Paperback
by John Ball (Author)
A CASE OF PIOUS MURDER?
When a City Councilman is killed, the citizens of Whitewater, Washington demand an immediate solution to the town's first unsolved murder in decades.
Police Chief Jack Tallon's only clue implicates Dharmaville, a controversial religious cult led by an inscrutable swami. Was it a case of holy homicide?
Tallon's bizarre investigation unearths a slew of skeletons in Whitewater's closets and produces more problems than answers. From the motorcycle arsonist to the kidnapped Hollywood starlet to the mistress in Spokane. It all adds up to... TROUBLE FOR TALLON.
