Perfect Alibis - Steve Davis - Bog

California Highway Patrol Lt. Ryan Foster glanced down at the smoking gun in his hand. This certainly wasn't the way he envisioned his life turning out. Yet here he was, standing among four dead young men in a dark New York alley; men he had just lured into an ambush and murdered in cold blood.

How could a highly regarded career CHP veteran turn into a cold-blooded murderer? He didn't even know their names. Men he'd never seen before tonight. He couldn't ponder the question for long, though, the sirens were getting closer, and he had to plan his next murder, in Florida.

Of course, the date his life went awry was very clear; that would be May 26, 2013; the day his seventeen-year-old daughter was murdered on a remote beach near Mendocino, California. And then, a week later, when a devastating fire at the Department of Justice Crime Lab destroys all the evidence against his daughter's murderer, Ryan is forced to resort to Plan B, street justice.
But when his first attempt to confront the suspect is thwarted, he is forced to attend a 'Forgiveness Retreat' put on by television personality 'Dr. Stan' Berkeley. Instead of confronting his inner demons, however, he meets another man grieving his son's murder, at the hands of a professional athlete, who was wrongfully acquitted of the crime. Together, they contrive a murder conspiracy to kill each other's loved one's murderers. But that plan is also compromised when their scheme is overheard by a third member of the retreat, a high stakes New York City Realtor whose husband was murdered by a subway gang, and who demands to be included. Reluctantly, they agree to her demand, and the conspirators begin to plan and execute a series of perfect crimes, with perfect alibis for the participants.
Along the way, Dr. Stan smells a story, and reports his suspicions to the FBI. Soon a national FBI Task Force is formed, with detectives from New York and California, and Florida, to catch them before they can kill again.

Can this trio of unlikely amateur assasins pull off three perfect crimes, in three different states, including three 'perfect alibis', while the FBI, California and New York Detectives, and a ratings-hungry 'TV Doctor' watch their every move?
