The bright silver star by David Handler, August 5, 2004, St. While Mitch has finally become acclimated to simple village life, he returns in one of the novel's more affecting episodes to New York, where he tries to dispel some of the painful memories of his deceased wife and introduce Des to the energy and pulse of the city. She joins forces with Mitch in an investigation that in the end shatters forever the squeaky-clean image of Dorset's elite.

When Tito falls to his death from a cliff, the authorities suspect suicide, but Des, a former homicide detective, thinks otherwise. Mitch Berger has been accepted at least on the surface by some of the posh families in the small enclave to which he's moved - even his open affair with the beautiful black policewoman is looked upon peaceably. The arrival of 'breathtakingly gorgeous Academy Award winner' Esme Crockett and her husband, 'combustible blue-eyed Latino heartthrob' Tito Molina, promises a far more exciting summer than usual for Dorset residents with hordes of reporters and stargazers. From the Edgar-Award winning author David Handler comes The Bright Silver Star, the third installment in the Berger and Mitry Mysteries. In Handler's delightful third outing (after 2002's Hot Pink Farmhouse) starring beautiful black state trooper Desiree 'Des' Mitry and transplanted New Yorker and renowned film critic Mitch Berger, the unlikely but dynamic duo get mixed up with movie stars and murder in the picturesque village of Dorset, Conn.
