Summary | "Case Pending follows Lieutenant Luis Mendoza as he investigates the murder of a young girl in Southern California. A child disappears on her way home from the roller rink, and her battered body is later found abandoned in an empty lot in Southern California. It's a demoralizing scene that gives Lieutenant Luis Mendoza very little evidence to work with. But little does he know that just across town a young man-oppressed by guilt-finds a spot of blood on his sleeve and worries that it's happened again... When Mendoza connects the girl's death with that of another woman, the case becomes even more dangerous. Dell Shannon's engrossing mystery captures the essence of a diverse Southern California community that is forced to face the worst parts of itself"--Provided by publisher. |
