Spring of Violence - by Dell Shannon
Topic: Books - Mystery
This is the 24th Luis Mendoza mystery. Some tropical fish are stolen, a little white haired lady is robbing banks, there are a rash of boys on bicycles being run down and other crimes take up the time of the officers in the Robbery/Homicide Division of the Los Angeles Police Department. Often the solution is as sad as the crime.

At home Mendoza and Alison's twins are four years old and learning to read with McGuffeys Readers, Piggott and Prudence get a fish tank, Higgins is happy to have his two step children and now a baby of his own, and others.
