Fraud, deception, murder… what else awaits this detective along the banks of the muddy Wichita?
Fraud, deception, murder… what else awaits this detective along the banks of the muddy Wichita?
Substituting for an art professor on medical leave, artist and private detective Fen Maguire is asked to investigate a long-standing cold case. Seven years ago, a real estate broker swindled local residents out of millions, then disappeared without a trace. Her victims want their money and they want justice.
When the reporter who wrote exposé articles on the fraud victims is found dead, the police have a new crime to solve. With the senior detective no longer interested in solving the fraud case, Fen gets no help from the police. The waters get even murkier when he discovers the paths of the missing broker and the dead journalist intersect.
Digging deep into the past, he finds a long list of people with reason to kill both the reporter and the real estate broker. When the senior police detective refuses to believe there’s a connection, Fen is left on his own to follow the trail to the money… and the killer.
