Testerossa
Submitted by whitneylove on Wed, 07/14/2010 - 15:22If you love mystery thrillers you will love this new detective book by Julie Dolcemashio. John Testarossa is an LAPD cop and he has seen it all. The dead, the dying and the decomposing are all in a day’s work for John Testerossa from New York City and now working in Los Angeles. His day begins with pulling a college boy out of the Venice Canals who turns out to be alive and ends with an arm rolling up on the shores of Santa Monica Bay. Great start.
