The purpose of the sale is to expand a horse ranch operation, Sunrise Riding Stables, owned by Ms. Abley. The horrific sudden death of Mimi Schultz at the signing is totally unexpected and shocking, negating the sale. Monroe Police Chief Brandon Johns and Det. Samantha Gates immediately launch an investigation into the death. It is a baffling case compounded by many layers of dysfunctional relationships surrounding the two families. Lies, deception, and distrust are woven into the fabric of the crime. Putting all the pieces of the puzzle together to find the killer proves to be a very difficult challenge. As they get deeper into the investigation, their frustration grows. They seem to be missing that one piece of evidence that is hiding in plain sight. Will they find it and solve the case?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1978, in Monroe, Wisconsin, the dead body of an elderly woman is discovered in her home. Police Chief Brandon Johns and Det. Samanthia Gates are called to investigate. The crime scene indicates that a possible murder has been committed. Birgitta Nilsen, the deceased, was a very wealthy widow who lived alone in her house. Assuming inheritance money was a likely motive for her murder, they look at the family first to establish a list of suspects. As they interview the beneficiaries of Nilsen’s Will, they are confronted by a host of lies, deception, and distrust among dysfunctional family members. A third non-family beneficiary appears in the Will further complicating the investigation. As they delve deeper into the case, their increasing frustrations grow, in that none of their suspects has an alibi for the time of the murder, but, at the same time, they all had the money motive. Eventually, a possible eye witness that could identify the killer is interviewed, but the octogenarian elderly woman, who lives across the street from Nilsen, was hard of hearing, paranoid, and suffered from memory issues further hampering the investigation. Then, unexpectedly, another suspect surfaces. It was a real head scratcher for Johns and Gates as they try to unravel the mystery behind the murder. Will they get the break in the case that they need to crack it and bring the killer to justice?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the summer of 1977, in Monroe, Wisconsin, the sudden death of an elderly man who was living alone in his house looked like an accidental fall down a flight of stairs. However, Police Chief Brandon Johns and Det. Samantha Gates weren’t totally convinced. Was it a suspicious death? A week later, a second victim, an elderly woman living alone in her house, met the same fate. Were the two deaths connected? Also, in 1977, the artifacts from the burned-out house of Fiona Brown went on sale at the local antiques store. In 1952, Fiona Brown had died in the suspected arson fire of her home. At the time, she had suffered under the moniker of being a witch because of her alternative lifestyle, brewing lotions and potions as medicinal remedies for health-related illnesses. The arsonist was never identified and prosecuted for her murder. Following the two mysterious deaths in 1977, the city was suddenly cast into a firestorm of rumors about both victims having purchased Fiona Brown’s relics at the antiques store. Was that connection all the proof needed to show that Fiona’s ghost was haunting the city, seeking revenge? This stampede of hysteria was hampering the police investigation. The murders were baffling the police, who were challenged and frustrated, trying to fit the pieces of the puzzle together. Then suddenly, the body of a third murder victim that summer was discovered. No immediate plausible explanation or link among the three recent deaths was apparent. Did the killer of Fiona Brown resurface? The police decided to reopen the cold case of Fiona Brown, looking for answers. Would they be able to unravel the mystery of her death and bring the killer or killers to justice for the other three deaths as well?
