?A throw-back style detective novel that readers of all stripes should pay attention to.” ?The Los Angeles Times
Christopher just needed a job to kill time the summer after graduation. He didn't expect to stumble across a murder cover-up when he was hired as a janitor at the morgue. With the sheriff as his prime suspect, he turns to Tina, a gorgeous newspaper reporter, to help him get to the bottom of the case. Suddenly they find themselves in a full-blown investigation involving bribery, kidnappings, more murders?and his best friend.
?Fast-paced and full of red herrings, it'll keep you guessing.” ?New York Post
