Unnatural Murder

The LAPD becomes involved in the case of a murdered Hollywood transvestite, and Capt. Josie Corsino stumbles across a cover-up. Josie has problems, too. She’s separated from her husband, vaguely hoping for a reunion, but when her former lover is temporarily transferred to the Hollywood division her own life implodes. Cops are human, author Dial reminds us. Very human. Despite all that messy humanity, cops really do try to do the right thing—even if the right thing will hurt them. —Mystery Scene Magazine
