Jeffrey Dawson is a schizophrenic serial killer. He's very good at his trade, but not as good as Fred McCallister, an LAPD Detective, charged with solving a string of murders. This mystery is full of realistic characters, all with their lives intricately tied together by a series of lies. The story unfolds in Los Angeles, Mailbu, Santa Catalina, New York and Palm Springs. Mr. Hutchison once again proves he is a master writer. A page-turner until the end. Hutchison is at the top of his game in this one.
A thirty-year LAPD detective, Fred McCallister, was hoping to cruise quietly into retirement. Instead, he's drawn into an investigation of a schizophrenic serial killer, Jeffrey Dawson, who, as it turns out, only murders women who resemble his stepmother. Set in New York and Southern California, Dawson's Web is woven around a cast of supporting characters with often questionable agendas of their own. Charlene, a beautiful aspiring actress, gets involved with a not-too-bright blackmailer, Randy. Hans, a real estate mortgage broker under investigation by the SEC, becomes one of Charlene and Randy's victims, but he retaliates by soliciting the aid of his long-time mobster friend, Giovanni. But before Giovanni can track down Charlene and Randy, they escape to Los Angeles. In LA, their lives intersect with the lives of those who are similarly caught up in their own webs of deceit, adultery, and depravity. Like his previous novels, Gulf Crisis III, Dust In the Wind, and Sigma One, William A. Hutchison has delivered another page-turning thriller in Dawson's Web, and it guarantees to have the reader guessing to the end.

Homer removes the study of organizedcrime from the realm of sensationalism and ethnic chauvinism, and places it inthe context of contemporary American social structure. He reviews prevalentmyths and hypotheses about organized crime and critically analyzes them in theframework of contemporary organization theory. In this context, organized crimeis analyzed in its economic, political, ethnic, and so...
This book, with contributions from many of the world's leading polo journalists, profiles more than 30 of the most influential polo players from history. The players covered were selected for inclusion based on their overall impact on the game rather than their prowess on the field, although many covered are considered all-time greats. Each chapter covers an individual player, including early pioneers, those who played during the "golden era" (the years between World War I and World War II), superstars, game-changers, and great contemporaries. The book includes numerous photographs and a foreword by H.R.H. The Prince of Wales.
