Murder On The Wichita

Seven million reasons to kill. One determined detective.

When artist-turned-investigator Fen Maguire takes a temporary teaching position in Wichita, he's drawn into a cold case that's anything but academic. Seven years ago, a cunning real estate broker vanished with millions in stolen funds, leaving a wake of ruined lives behind. Now, the victims want answers—and their money back.

The case takes a deadly turn when the journalist who championed the fraud victims is found murdered. The local police show little interest in connecting the dots between a seven-year-old financial scam and a fresh killing. But as Fen digs deeper, he uncovers a web of deceit where the paths of the missing fraudster and the dead reporter intertwine in suspicious ways.

With each layer of deception he peels back, the suspect list grows longer. Business partners, jilted lovers, angry marks—everyone seems to have a motive for murder. The senior detective assigned to the case dismisses Fen's theories, forcing him to investigate alone. Now he must navigate the murky waters of the past to expose a killer before they strike again.
