Whodunit Did It

Whodunit Did It is the first book of the Bader trilogy, and 19th Jim Scott book, though Jim and Hector Garcia only get a mention in this book.   These three books will feature LAPD Homicide Detective Elmer Bader.  In this one, Elmer and friends work to find a ruthless killer/thief who enjoys killing as well as stealing.  He is actually quite good at his chosen profession, having gone years without being brought to justice.  Good, hard, police work to track him down, is interspersed with the lives of those chasing him—including, but not limited to, Elmer's humorous, sexually charged romance with one of his three ex-wives and his efforts to play "cupid."  Unlike my previous books, this one, while having a few former military men, does not focus on military folks.  Hope the readers of the Janitor and Asps series will still find it entertaining.

A bad guy may be smart.  A bad guy may be good at what he does.  A bad guy may be very careful to leave no trace of himself behind at crime scenes.  But even this bad guy—street named 'Whodunit' (without his knowledge) by an associate—can be tracked down with good police work.  A piece of evidence he had no idea would ever be discovered is discovered.  But does his escape plan work?
