    The Woodhead & Becker Mysteries Series

    By Paul Austin Ardoin

    ()

    About this series

    The local cops say suicide. Woodhead and Becker say homicide. And now there's a target on their backs.

    Case analyst Bernadette Becker uses the investigation of an apparent suicide as cover to chase down a new lead on an old case. But someone is chasing her too—and she's not the only one in danger.

    When the suicide begins to look like a murder, Becker and her partner, the intelligent but infuriating Dr. Kep Woodhead, follow the clues—and Kep's keen sense of smell—to a drug dealer, a mining company, and an obsessed scientist.

    But the closer they get to the truth, the more Woodhead and Becker are in the crosshairs. After an explosive attempt on their lives, Woodhead and Becker must figure out how to solve one murder without becoming victims themselves.

      This book was originally published under the title Ceremony in August 2021.   Dr. Kep Woodhead is a brilliant, irascible forensic toxicologist with a dark past and a nost for trouble.  Bernadette Becker is a disgraced federal investigator with one last chance.  They're both assigned to a strange poisoning case: a graduate student has been found dead in a 15th-century chapel, overdosed on a controversial hallucinogen. The list of suspects is long: the priest, the professor, the piscary president, the protestor, the protégé, and at least one wants to silence Becker.   Do Becker and Woodhead have a prayer of discovering the truth before the killer strikes again?   "...an intelligently wrought, involving and accomplished thriller. Highly recommended." —Rose Auburn Writing & Reviews

      This book was originally published under the title EVERYTHING'S GONE GREEN in March 2022.   A con man's death two weeks before his wedding holds only one clue—a peculiar green discoloration in his mouth.   Federal investigators Bernadette Becker and Dr. Kep Woodhead must join forces again to untangle the baffling evidence.   Only they find their search for justice muddied by an old crime and complicated by a local cop with his own agenda.   When the victim's fiancée is arrested for the murder, Becker and Woodhead are positive she's innocent, just another complication in an already twisted game of cat and mouse with a murderer.   Tracking down the strange green substance leads them to a slaughterhouse with a dark secret, a stalker fresh out of prison, and a locked room in the Oregon high desert.   All hold dangerous secrets… But does one hold the truth Becker and Woodhead seek, or will the killer strike again?
