After twenty-five years, Detective Sargent Rob Sanchove is retiring, when unfortunately the death of an 18-year-old University of Texas student is dropped on his desk. He needs to clear this case quickly so the Lieutenant will get off his back and he can get on with his retirement. Interviews with classmates identify potential suspects, but they all have airtight alibis. The coroner doesn't provide any clues and the forensics are negative as well. Or are they?

Rob and his partner know that they are missing something, but what is it? What does a post it note on Sanchove's coffee maker, a strange dream and a murder in a Texas border town four hours away have to do with their case?

If you love a great murder mystery with a twist, then "The Almost Perfect Murder" is what you are looking for?
