Shott in the Dark (A Chandler Shott Mystery)

By Kirk Hanley

Chandler Shott just lost his job and apartment. And with only a garbage bag full of possessions and a degree in General Studies, his prospects look bleak. So when his mother calls to tell him he’s inherited his uncle’s P.I. business in Detroit, it seems like a golden opportunity. But before he knows it, he’s witnessed an armed robbery, staked out an old classmate’s shady operation at his mother’s request, discovered a dead body in his office, taken on a female client who fills him with equal parts desire and fear, and heard from a long line of people demanding the money his uncle owed them. And that’s just the first day...
