Door to a Dark Room Danny R Smith

Residents of Santa Clarita, one of the nation's safest cities, are jolted when a decapitated woman is discovered in the car of a missing realtor.

When detectives home in on her wealthy husband, a mystery begins to unravel, the investigation heats up.

Los Angeles Sheriff's Homicide Detective Dickie Jones has returned to work after recovering from gunshot wounds. His wife has left him, and his partner, Matt "Pretty Boy Floyd" Tyler, has been assigned a new partner.

A serial killer is on the loose, which might be just the diversion Dickie needs. When he and Floyd are reunited to hunt down the murderer, all seems right in his world again-until the veteran detectives discover that Dickie is next on the killer's list.

Door to a Dark Room is a gripping crime thriller with twists and turns. Written by a former homicide detective, this book will take you beyond the yellow tape into the hearts, souls, and tormented minds of those who hunt evil.

"Like too few great reads, this one is experienced rather than read. It sucks you in and holds you . . . the characters are fallible and real. I speak from having known them; every cop will." - Deac Slocumb


"I finished the book in one day. I can honestly say that as much as I love the first book, I loved this one even more. It will appeal to both the seasoned officer and the layperson who loves crime drama. It draws you in and holds your interest." - Moon Mullen


"You've written an excellent book. It moves along well, the chapters are well developed, and it has more twists than a mountain road." - Claude Farris
