Murder by Suicide C. Dean A. Papas

Dawn, a beauti ful 37-year-old brunette, recently divorced, was found dead in her apartment from a gunshot wound to the chest. There was a suicide note by the body and a handgun by the right hand. The police, based upon certain observati ons, believe that Dawn may not have committ ed suicide, that she might have been murdered. To complicate matters further, the autopsy results showed that Dawn was four weeks pregnant which completely surprised her best and only friend, Veronica!

Captain Lukas and Lt. Flannigan fight an uphill battle to prove that it was indeed murder and not suicide. It would be easier to prove their theory if they could just identify the murderer. Then, by using all resources available to them, they discover the identity of the father of the child Dawn was carrying. This important discovery could potentially lead them to the murderer. Is the baby's father also Dawn's murderer? If not, who could be responsible for this horrible crime?
