    About this ebook

    “Yes, that is correct, they took all 23 cars right off the street.”
    Every officer in the Seattle police station is ordered out to the scene of the car heist. Homicide Detective Rage is in early and sent out. When the press learns of the auto theft, they go wild. In several days there are no leads.
    Who would take every car parked on the street, when none were new or of any real value? Which one or two did they want? They could not have wanted all 23 of them! No leads, nothing to go on. How did they take all 23 without waking up someone in the houses next to the street?
    Why is Inspector Strong and his homicide division working on an auto theft case?
    Why is a woman in a Penthouse with a red silk rug on the floor in Seattle worried about the investigation of the 23 cars?

      Prologue

      An asteroid falls into the northern Japanese sea off the coast of Russia, (See Detective Rage Mystery #40; The Plush Red Silk Rug.)

      Chapter 1 The 23 Car Incident

      It is 1:24 am in a residential neighborhood in Seattle, known as Stewart Park. Parking is at a premium with each address having only one parking stall in front of their house after 9 pm. They also park every other day on the opposite side of the road.

      In one block there is 23 cars parked, with barely enough to pull out into the road. Only the driveways permit a car next in line to almost touch the one behind or in front of it.

      A van pulls alongside the parked cars letting out people with hoods on. The street is deserted with a person at each in of the block watching for cars. A phone vibrates in each pocket. The coast is clear. Each car door is opened with no alarm sounding. In 30 seconds, every car between driveways pulls away. In the next three minutes every car on the street is driven off.

      Half the cars leave going up the street, the others the opposite way. At every intersection, two cars take each of the three streets. At the next intersection single cars each street. In three intersections only a single car is travelling down the street.

      In 15 minutes, all 23 cars are parked in separate garages all over town never passing a traffic camera.

      It is 6:27 am, This is 911 what is your emergence?

      "They stole my car right off the street in front of my house. OH no, there is not a car on the street.
