Detective Stanford Carter is the supervisor of the CSI team in Boston, which is also the best in the nation. When a serial killer dubbed “The Plunger” reeks havoc on his city Detective Carter wastes no time in collecting evidence to get this killer of his city streets. With an enormous amount of pressure coming down on Carter from Mayor Art Schroeder, it seems Carter may have to step up the pace or lose his job. CSI trainee Jill Seacrest has been a model employee. From the moment Seacrest and Carter meet, they both knew there was an underlying chemistry brewing between them. Will Jill and Carter find the killer before one or both of their lives are endangered?
Mayor Schroeder is not about to let some deranged murderer prevent his loyal residents from celebrating the city’s anniversary. Unfortunately, that is not all Mayor Schroeder has on his plate. A secret affair with famous movie actress Eva Davies has been discovered. Now the Mayor must keep Carter at bay while conceding to the blackmailer’s demands.
As Detective Stanford Carter produces a suspect and quenches the mayor’s thirst for justice, the celebration is short lived as another copycat “Plunger” is now on the loose. Will Carter be able to solve this second spree of murders before anyone else dies, or will the next victim be someone Detective Carter has secret feelings for?
When the second spree is revealed to be cultivated by CSI's own medical examiner, Carter and the rest of the crew are more than a little shocked. But once again the murder sprees start and Carter is left to wonder if he is capable of solving another copycat. Upon the mayor’s request, FBI Agent Caitlin Diggs and Geoffrey McAllister are called in to take over the investigation. With Caitlin’s high arrest record mostly accomplished through non-conformative methods, Diggs and Carter quickly hit it off. Will this trio of investigator’s find the person responsible for the murders before it is too late?
MURDER BY ASSOCIATION is another novel by author Gary Starta, who also composed Blood Web. In MURDER BY ASSOCIATION, we are first introduced to Agent Caitlin Diggs who is the heroine of Blood Web. I found MURDER BY ASSOCIATION to be yet another of Mr. Starta’s thrilling roller-coaster rides. This mystery novel has everything from murder, secret affairs, suspense, the mob and edge of your seat thrills.
Mr. Starta’s creative and captivating prose has a way of drawing you in at the beginning and leaving you wanting more. I anxiously look forward to reading the next installment in the Caitlin Diggs series, and I also hope there are more novels in the works. I believe Mr. Starta is one of mystery writing's brightest stars. Check out MURDER BY ASSOCIATION at
