Compelled To Kill Mystery Novel

Retired LAPD Detective, Francis Robert Ryan, while enjoying his retirement in Sarasota, Florida, received a very disturbing call informing him that his ex partner from his old division had committed suicide. The call was from Dorothy Metzger, the widow of Homicide Detective Leo Metzger who was one of the LAPD's finest. Refusing to believe that his old partner would take his own life, Ryan returned to Los Angeles once he heard that there would be no further investigations into the unexplained death of a man who was known for keeping it all together. All evidence gathered proved unquestionably that Leo took his own life, but none of the findings meant anything to Ryan.
