About this ebook

One recluse millionaire. One murder… so far.

 

Life between cases is downright boring for blind PI Steve Smiley. When an insurance investigator looking for a missing millionaire is convinced the man is alive, Smiley doesn't hesitate to join the hunt.

 

With no murder weapon and no body, Smiley suspects the man faked his own death. But the trail of multiple passports turns cold… until a body is found in a burned-out Texas truck. Dental records confirm it's the missing man. A bullet in his back confirms he was murdered. But why would someone want to kill a video game developer?

 

Then the killer takes a shot at the man's widow. With both her life and Steve's reputation on the line, can he stop the killer before he strikes again? Or will this be the one game Steve loses? 

 

Smiley and McBlythe mysteries never contain any graphic violence, sex or foul language. Just great whodunits to get the 'little grey cells' working!
