A Malcolm Connally Novel Series

When PI Malcolm "Mac" Connally's former lover turns up dead in a dumpster in a town several hundred miles from where she's supposed to be no one seems all that concerned. So he takes it upon himself, despite the protests of her family and the local authorities, to find out what happened. His quest leads him to a new lover and a view into a Midwest town's dark underside.

Malcolm "Mac" Connally is new to the world of private investigations, fresh from a less than graceful exit from the Omaha Police Department and a failed marriage. Finding work in the nation's heartland is slow and sparse. He cannot afford to be picky about the work that comes his way, even when every instinct he has tells him to stay away. Alexandra Pine is a beautiful young actress who reaches out to him on behalf of a friend, a friend whose lover is a fugitive on the run. Charged with the task of finding the fugitive and bringing him in safely, whether it to be to the local authorities or not, Connally finds he is not the only independent party looking for the fugitive. Soon he finds himself in danger and comes face to face with a dark side of city he didn't know existed.
