Store Stamped. --- --- (Book 34 in the Lieutenant Luis Mendoza series) --- September is the worst month for heat in Southern California, and LAPD lieutenant Luis Mendoza is feeling the burn as the sweltering temperatures raise tempers and violence. . . . .Heading the list is the bizarre murder of a young French girl - which eventually leads Mendoza to Paris. An old man smothered in his hospital bed; a polite holdup artist nicknamed Baby Face; a Hollywood matron who disappears while visiting a sick friend and the grisly murder of a family who has just moved from Wisconsin keep the skillful Mendoza and his force pounding the scorching pavements in a crime wave that, like the heat, offers no sign of relief. . .See photos for additional content. . .
