Bryson Wilde, investigator for hire, lives in an edgy world where the dames are dangerous, cigarettes dangle from ruby-red lips, and the nights are hotter than whiskey-soaked jazz. In R. J. Jagger's riveting noir thriller, A Way With Murder, Wilde finds himself entangled in two deadly assignments, one for a young raven-haired attorney on the run after visiting an archeological site in Mexico and the other for a pretty little dollface who is too mysterious to trust and too hypnotic to resist. As Wilde negotiates the dangerous undercurrents of his treacherous new cases, he soon discovers that not only are they on a collision course with one another, but that no one is safe when he is with someone who has a way with murder.

page-turner that stands among the best of Jagger's work. From
beginning to end, the story moves at a rapid pace. Wilde is a 50's era
PI that works out of a small office with his sexy assistant Alabama.
Wilde also plays drums at a steamy jazz club. Of course, Wilde chases
after a serial killer and there is nonstop action. Like all of Jagger's
books, this one follows several interconnected stories including Wilde's
detective work for the mysterious woman named Secret, a young
reporter who is investigating the strange murders of women in red
dresses, and a bad dude who tangled with bikers and is paid to kidnap
young women. The formula is similar to that in Jagger's other work,
but it works and works well.
