Pegasus Descending by James lee Burke
After keeping this book for years until cobwebs and insects grew inside the book. Finally, I finished reading this book. The story flow was interesting, however, there were too many distractions outside, plus this book is big and thick. It's quite difficult to bring around. 

The murder stories inside this book were all intertwined. First, it told of the earlier days of the Detective Dave and a friend's murder. After, fast forward to now, he met his murdered friend's daughter who was trying to avenge her father death. And there was another murder-suicide case of a young woman, an unidentified crustacean man, an alcoholic ex-colleague, gambling tycoon, drug dealer, set up, racism, etc. I kept guessing about the real murderer. The final was a shocking discovery. The father of the suicide woman killed a man he thought raped his daughter and planted the murder weapon on another man, and then, he was framed for another murder he didn't commit. It was a intriguing detective story. and I was very happy that I finished this book. Hoorah!
