Murder On The San Gabriel

One fire. One grave. Every heir a suspect.

When fire destroys a wealthy rancher's home and leaves only charred bone fragments behind, his death is ruled an accident. His son refuses to accept it and hires former Texas sheriff turned private investigator Fen Maguire to find the truth. Fen is nearly ready to side with the authorities until the rancher's body turns up in a shallow grave along the banks of the San Gabriel River.

What looked like a tragic accident is now cold-blooded murder.

With a fortune in ranch land at stake, every member of this fractured family had reason to want the patriarch dead. Fen's prime suspect is the son and primary heir, the very man who hired him. Then the son narrowly survives an attempt on his life.

Now Fen is hunting a killer determined to eliminate both father and son. To stop them, he must untangle decades of family jealousy, greed, and buried grudges, and expose who stands to inherit it all before the killer strikes again.

Murder On The San Gabriel is a clean, traditional whodunit with a closed circle of suspects and a killer hiding in plain sight. With no graphic violence, strong language, or explicit scenes, you can recommend the Fen Maguire mysteries to anyone, from a teen to your grandma!
