About this ebook

Wayne Guthrie, a reclusive small town police detective and two understudies investigate a murder thinly disguised as a hunting accident. The victim, Harry Achermann, may have stolen from the CIA, exploited a global diamond cartel, and decimated a beleaguered tribe in South Africa. The victim's infidelities and ill-gotten gains mean suspects abound, from the CIA to Achermann’s estranged wife; from DeBeers, the infamous global diamond cartel, to Dirk LeBeau, the manager of the hunting club where Achermann met his fate. Rick LeBeau, Dirk’s son and Achermann’s guide the day he was killed is not beyond suspicion, nor is Kelley Sutton, an irresistible beauty on the club staff. In search of a definitive clue, Guthrie revisits the crime scene where someone targets him with a laser sight right where Achermann was felled.
