The Logic of Murder by Michael Ludlow

It’s the sixties and sex, drugs, and rock and roll permeate the culture of America. The Logic of Murder introduces the world to Abbe Brent, the hippy, feminist detective and granddaughter of one of Seattle’s most notorious (and richest) courtesans. The story is told through the eyes of G.P. Walker, a 1966 graduate of a small, conservative liberal arts school in rural Indiana. Walker, under the employ of Sherlock Holmes wannabe Dr. Jeremy Todd, PhD., meets Ms. Brent while working on the case of a murdered socialite. Walker is directed by Todd to work directly with Ms. Brent and report everything she does and finds. Brent and Todd race to be the first to catch the killer and show Seattle who is the best detective. Walker learns how a true detective solves crimes, meets his soulmate, and becomes a member of the Family - a community of artists, musicians, intellectuals, professionals, and artisans.
