Murder on Location

Niagara Falls is crawling with Hollywood types who are making a movie. But Benny Cooperman isn’t scouting for talent; he’s investigating the case of a woman named Billie Mason who’s gone missing from Cooperman’s hometown of Grantham, Ontario. Has she merely been bitten by the acting bug, or is a much more sinister force at play?   Cooperman’s a detective with flair. Kinder and gentler than your average PI—and ironically squeamish about violence—he’s the creation of author Howard Engel, a master of the crime genre whose enthusiastic fans have included Ruth Rendell, Donald E. Westlake, Julian Symons, and Tony Hillerman. Engel’s readership spans 13 countries, including Japan, England, Germany, Italy, Spain, Denmark, the United States, and his native Canada.  Murder on Location is the third book in the Benny Cooperman Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.
