About this ebook

A dead pastor with a brand new two-million-dollar life insurance policy interrupts Eddie Rose’s romantic vacation in the central Mexican town of San Miguel de Allende. The small town of Booth, Mississippi, is shocked by the apparent murder of a prominent pastor late in a steaming hot summer. Was it murder? Was it suicide? Big Western Insurance wants to know and Eddie is their ace freelance investigator.
When the police arrest a suspect, and charge him with murder, Eddie is convinced that Dontrell Tyler, the young black man, didn’t commit the crime. Eddie and Tess Taylor, a young real estate lawyer, learn that the preacher was hiding an explosive secret; a secret that could have pushed him to suicide, or others to murder. And that’s not the only dangerous secret in the small town, as Eddie finds out when he jabs the hornet’s nest.

Author

Fred McKibben

Fred McKibben is the author of the highly acclaimed Gardeners trilogy, Hot Times in the Garden of Eden, The Salt Castle, and The Carnival Road. The series has been described as suspense with strong elements of science fiction, politics, history, anthropology and romance. The allegorical story is particularly relevant in the current political environment where the rise of strongman rulers portends losses of individual freedom, knowledge growth, and creativity. The full series is also available as a compilation titled Seven Deadly Sinners.In addition to the Gardeners trilogy, Fred has written The Shadow of Death (2016) and Sweet Dreams (2017). Both are murder mysteries featuring Eddie Rose, a semi-retired insurance investigator.Fred lives in Southern Spain with his wife and two dogs. After many years as a finance executive and entrepreneur, he decided to try his hand at writing fiction. A More Perfect Union (expected release in 2019) will be the first of planned series of historical romance novels set in the early United States.
