When Billionaire Real Estate Developer Peter Bruxton is found murdered – shot in the head in his hotel room – it comes as no surprise to anyone who knew him. In fact, the biggest challenge facing the detectives charged with solving Bruxton’s murder may be finding someone who is NOT a suspect.
Also not a surprise is the fact that Bruxton was shot while presumably having sex. His sexual escapades (with everyone except his wife) were the subject of open conversation at cocktail parties throughout the Coachella Valley social scene (as was his general tendency to offend anyone he met within five minutes of meeting them). Bruxton was universally disliked, but he was particularly despised by several of the women he had bedded (as well as by their husbands).
Was Bruxton’s murder a crime of passion or a premeditated act of revenge? It’s a case that crosses state lines, exposes the excesses of the very rich, and brings wartime secrets to light. Join detectives Mannheim and Oliver as they seek to solve the case of the philandering fat cat in Death in the Saddle (Not a Western).
Death in the Saddle (Not a Western) is the fourth novel by Alvin J. Harris, M.D.F.A.C.S. Long a fan of mystery and detective novels, Dr. Harris began writing professionally after moving to Palm Desert, California with his wife, Yetta in 2000. With more than forty years experience as an Orthopedic Surgeon, it is no surprise that he includes someone in the medical profession in each of his novels. Dr. Harris, a prolific writer, is already at work on his fifth novel.
