The Cheerleader Murders

Once again Gary Dillman has written a fast-paced detective novel. His background in police work adds realism to a terrific story in The Cheerleader Murders. Everybody loves cheerleaders. Right? Not in the small southern Maryland town of Arcadia. Someone intends to silence forever the cheers of ten former cheerleaders. During his career, State Police Detective Sergeant Waylon Savage had closed some of the toughest murder cases in Maryland. Now his old friend, Chief Barker, a retired state trooper-turned-police chief, has called him for help. Someone has killed a former cheerleader exactly ten years after she had been leading cheers on the local high school team. Barker suspects this murder may just be the start of a murder spree; the serial killer or killers intending to eliminate all the former members of that squad. The two policemen follow the twisted path in search of the culprit, but soon discover they have also become targets for death. Even the chief's cat, Bob, is in danger! Evil is alive and well in Arcadia in this latest novel of mystery, police procedure and a touch of horror.
