Yellow Bird - Softcover
A Doc Adams Mystery.
Doc's old medical school chum and one-time drinking buddy, Jonathan Randolph, calls up one cold January night to invite Doc to pay him a visit on Cape Cod. Not long after the awkward reunion, Doc's presence is once again requested -- at an autopsy. A man has been found shot to death next door to where Doc and Jonathan met. Doc immediately recognizes the dead man as George Brenner, another friend from the past. And Randolph has disappeared without a trace. Is Doc's old friend the murderer . . . or the next victim?

From Kirkus Reviews:
Bay Area oral surgeon Dr. Charlie Adams's second hardcover case (Gone to Earth, 1990) spirals outward from a telltale bang during a visit to unlikable old school chum Jonathan Randolph on the Cape. What that shot leads to is Doc's amazed identification of a John Doe found in political hopeful Northrop Chesterton's closed-up house (next door to Randolph's) as another old acquaintance, George Brenner. Why did the killer deliberately arrange to have Doc and his wife Mary on hand to witness the fatal gunshot? Why does an investigation into Brenner's background turn up such contradictory testimony about his behavior? And how is the murder tied in to Chesterton's mysterious intimacy with his houseboy, Owen Lightner, and a drug ring identified by the ``Yellow Bird'' logo on Brenner's missing T-shirt? Dense plotting, solid detection, and the usual Spenserish heroics. But don't expect to see all the loose ends tied up: the complications are still unreeling at the final shootout. -- Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.
From Publishers Weekly:
Edgar winner Boyer ( Billingsgate Shoal ) continues his Doc Adams series with this complicated tale of murder, drugs, sex and secrets on Cape Cod.
