Scene of the Lie

Reed Ferguson Mysteries, Book 23

In the brave new world of legalized marijuana shops, where booming business is conducted with large amounts of on-site cash, the five-year-old murder of a shop owner remains unsolved. 

To complicate matters, a homicide detective who’d worked the case, Greg Baker, had been suspected of lifting $100,000 from the shop's safe while at the crime scene. Although an Internal Affairs investigation was inconclusive, Detective Baker resigned from the force in disillusionment.

Five years later, Baker's wife hires Denver private investigator Reed Ferguson to clear her husband's name. But after all this time, it's going to be difficult to prove Baker's innocence.

As Reed digs for clues, he finds that shining a light into the past reveals layers of lies, and a murderer who will do anything to stop Reed from unearthing the truth.
