The Commission By Michael Norman

Review by Theodore Feit

 

The murder of the Chairman of the Utah Board of  Pardons sets off a wild and wooly story in which kinky sex throws  Sam Kincaid, who heads the Special Investigations Branch of the Utah Department of Corrections, off on a series of tangents, before he and his counterpart, a female Lieutenant from the police department on the right track.  But not before two suspects, one of whom actually did the initial killing, also are murdered.

 

The mystery unfolds slowly, as each investigative step uncovers new facts, with twists and turns to keep the reader in suspense until the mystery's conclusion.  This well-written and –constructed  tale is very much worth reading.
