Synopsis: Inspector Heimrich searches for a hit-and-run killer in this intriguing mystery from the coauthor of the &“excellent&” Mr. and Mrs. North series (The New Yorker). Inspector M. L. Heimrich of the New York State Police may not have the flash of hard-boiled city detectives, but there&’s no lead the intrepid investigator won&’t follow until his every hunch is satisfied . . . On the night before Christmas Eve, in Van Brunt, New York, attorney Samuel Jackson is run over in the parking lot of the Old Stone Inn—and it&’s no accident. For Inspector Heimrich, Jackson&’s murder is personal, not only because the man was his friend, but also because the sole witness is his son Michael&’s new girlfriend. The shaken girl says she saw a car back into Sam and then run him over to finish the job. With a case of vicious vehicular homicide on his hands, Heimrich vows to find justice for his friend and make sure the cold-blooded killer doesn&’t make a clean getaway. Inspector&’s Holiday is the 22nd book in the Captain Heimrich Mysteries, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order. &“Equable as ever.&” —Kirkus Reviews
