PimPage: An Occasional Feature in Which I Call Interesting Books to Your Attention

Amazon.com: The Skintight Shroud (A Joe Hannibal Mystery) eBook: Wayne Dundee: Kindle Store: Rockford, Illinois has quite a thriving adult-film industry. Oh, the more ambitious productions—the full-length sound features that play what's left of the adult-theater circuit and vie for the various awards the X-rated community has created for itself—are still done primarily on the coasts. But the less pretentious fare, your basic quickies made directly for home rental and mail-order sales and the silent, 10- to 15-minute shorts that play in the peep booths—loops, they're called in the industry—are being churned out all across the country. Let's face it, even the Kama Sutra has a limited number of positions. So the name of the game becomes new faces and new bodies.

Two of those new faces and new bodies constitute my latest case. Jason Hobbs was stabbed to death, his body found in a ditch alongside a back road in rural Boone County. The second victim, Valerie Pine, was strangled and her nude corpse discovered by her roommate in their southside apartment.

I still have my hardback copy of this one. I enjoyed it and the other Joe Hannibal books I read quite a bit.
