The Cigarette Killer: A Seth and Ava Mystery (Seth and Ava Mysteries #4)

The Cigarette Killer was never happier than when he was bragging about all of the people he’d tortured and killed. That is until he suddenly appealed his conviction.

According to his lawyer, the Cigarette Killer was framed by Seth O’Malley and his deceased partner Mitch Delgado. A cursory test finds that the Cigarette Killer’s DNA no longer matches the perpetrator of these horrific crimes.
Alarm bells ring all over the country! This single case could lead to the reversal of thousands of cases that O’Malley and Delgado worked.

Ava O’Malley, forensic expert and O'Malley's wife, and her team are experts on the Cigarette Killer murders. Along with other forensic experts, Ava and her team are sequestered to recheck every forensic finding. On the side, Ava and her team work to figure out what Cigarette Killer is actually up to.

Told to stay in New York City, O’Malley’s attention focuses on the murder of a bouncer and a dancing girl outside of the Savoy Ballroom in 1955. As the Savoy Ballroom case unravels, O’Malley finds himself right in the middle of a case involving the Cigarette Killer.

As two separate mysteries become one, O’Malley is shot and captured by an again Mob boss with nothing to lose.

This is the fourth Seth and Ava Mystery.
