Murder at the Mill

About the Book

This is the story of an attractive young security guard who is working for a large international lumber organization; she is found murdered on the company's property, with no apparent reason. Detective Angelo (Tony) Petrolia of the Golden Country Sheriff's Department and his I.D. Technician Roberta Thompson are put in charge of this investigation and are asked to solve this murder, which takes place in the company town of Golden in Golden County, California. The investigation takes Angelo from the beautiful scenery of Northern California, with its magnificent redwoods and rugged coast line, to the various truck stops along the way, and finally to the heavily congested stress of East Los Angeles. It's a story of murder, drugs, and cover-ups involving numerous individuals within the Golden Pacific Lumber Company and ties to the Mexican Mafia in East Los Angeles.
