Five Card Murder
WHERE TO BUY
An inheritance worth millions. A killer with a list… and Smiley’s on it.
Blind PI Steve Smiley inherits an unwanted headache when he's named executor of a sprawling Texas ranch. The owner's death—ruled suspicious and under investigation by the local sheriff—has his four children at each other's throats.
When the ranch foreman is murdered, any illusion of a simple estate settlement is shattered. Hired by the victim's family to investigate, Smiley finds himself caught between four siblings with blood-soaked motives. Each covets the land, each had opportunity, and each might kill again to keep their secrets buried.
A devastating family secret lurks beneath the murders and uncovering it could trigger a fresh wave of violence. With the killer's crosshairs shifting to him, Smiley must solve both deaths before he becomes the next victim claimed by the ranch's blood-soaked legacy.
