BREWED AWAKENING
A Nickey Monroe Legal Mystery
In Sawgrass, Colorado, the law is a shield for the powerful and a noose for the innocent. And for Judge James Washington, the trap is already set.
Retired judge Nickey Monroe moved to the high country for a quiet life of bridge games and walks with her Sheepadoodle, Harley. But in a town where secrets are buried as deep as the winter snow, peace is a dangerous illusion. When the beloved Professor Sidonie Washington is found dead in her own home, the evidence points to the one man who should be above suspicion: her husband, the town's most respected judge.
A Nickey Monroe Legal Mystery
In Sawgrass, Colorado, the law is a shield for the powerful and a noose for the innocent. And for Judge James Washington, the trap is already set.
Retired judge Nickey Monroe moved to the high country for a quiet life of bridge games and walks with her Sheepadoodle, Harley. But in a town where secrets are buried as deep as the winter snow, peace is a dangerous illusion. When the beloved Professor Sidonie Washington is found dead in her own home, the evidence points to the one man who should be above suspicion: her husband, the town's most respected judge.
James Washington is a man of the law, but in the eyes of a relentless prosecutor and a town hungry for a villain, he's already guilty.
Nickey knows the system is rigged. She knows that in a small town, the truth is often the first casualty of a righteous arrest. Alongside her long-time investigator Bart Griggs and the meticulous forensic expert Will David, Nickey must navigate a labyrinth of academic spite, family betrayals, and a local power dynasty that will do anything to protect their golden boy heir.
But the secret weapon in the Monroe Express isn't just Nickey's legal mind-it's Harley, the canine sleuth whose keen instincts and sharp nose uncover the hidden chemical truth that the human investigators missed.
As the investigation barrels toward a courtroom showdown, Nickey uncovers a web of corruption that stretches from the university halls to the sheriff's office, where a desperate lawman is wrestling with his own dark debts. In Sawgrass, the closer you get to the truth, the more dangerous the awakening becomes.
A brilliant professor is dead. Her husband, the Judge, is on trial for his life. And Nickey Monroe-and her loyal hound-are the only things standing between a man's freedom and a killer's perfect crime.
