Send Out the Clowns

Houston homicide detective, Frank Rivers is called to a downtown parking garage to investigate the murder of a man dressed in a clown suit. Together with his new partner, Geraldine Gardner, they work to solve the puzzling case. The two detectives discover the victim was a stand-up comedian who had been working at ?The Ha Ha House? and ?The Wits End?, two Houston comedy clubs owned by Reuben Rankin, but had recently been offered the opportunity to take his act to Las Vegas. It isn't long before more bodies start appearing and suspicion takes curious twists and turns. Send Out the Clowns is a detective/police story that injects healthy and supportive doses of romance, comedy and human interest along the way. This novel's color and life literally pumps oxygen into the thin-air of the typical detective story.
