The Root of Murder - Paperback

by Lauren Carr (Author)

Homicide Detective Cameron Gates learned long ago that there is no such thing as a typical murder case. Each mystery is special in its own right-especially for the family of the victim.

The homicide of a successful executive, husband, and father seems open and shut when the murder weapon is found in his estranged son-in-law's possession. The circumstantial evidence is so damning that when her step-son, J.J. Thornton, agrees to act as the defendant's public defender, he assumes his first murder case will be a loss.

Only the report of a missing husband proves that this case is not as open and shut as it seems. Strap on your seat belts for a wild ride in this mystery rooted in decades of deception that sprouts into murder.
