Edward Mathis From a High Place
Ballantine Books 1987 0345333705 / 9780345333704 Mass Market Paperback Good
0345333705 0345333705 From Publishers Weekly While visiting his small hometown in Texas, private eye Dan Roman is asked to investigate the recent death of the mild-mannered assistant librarian. His findings connect that death to the also-recent suicide of one of the town's richest citizens, the man who had married Roman's high-school sweetheart. Enduring assorted threats to his life while he suffers the souring of some of his innocent youthful fantasies, Roman does some killing of his own. In the end he solves the mysteries and managesafter five murders and a disappearanceto leave town with the general citizenry unaware of any wrongdoing. This first novel (and the first in a series to feature P.I. Roman) offers a strong sense of place but is marred by over-writing; the action seems soap-opera arbitrary and the characters video-screen flat.

Ballantine Books 1988 0345353439 / 9780345353436 Mass Market Paperback Good
0345353439 0345353439 From Publishers Weekly Mathis stars Texas private eye Dan Roman in a third boffo mystery, packed with as many tense and twisty scenes as the previous Dark Streaks and Empty Places. Hired by Naomi Kincade to locate and bring home from California her out-of-work and discouraged husband Ralph, Dan succeeds. But shortly afterwards, somebody murders Ralph. At the request of homicide Capt. Homer Sellers, Dan questions Naomi, her teenage son David and daughter Cynthia. The three have solid alibis, and the case is at a standstill although the detective picks up certain clues that hint of disreputable secrets guarded by the family. At the same time, the police are burdened by the murder of rich, elderly Mr. LeClair, the town's leading citizen. Through a masterful feat of reasoning, Dan proves that this crime has grown from the same obscene roots as the Kincade killing.
