A gripping tale of secrets, betrayal, and the relentless pursuit of justice.
In 1925 Albany, New York where jazz and speakeasies mask the city's darker undercurrents, private investigator Sloan Sheppard is handed a case unlike any before. Judge Archie Stafford believes someone wants him dead-but when a prominent lawyer mistakenly drinks poisoned tea meant for the judge, Sloan is thrown into a world of deception, ambition, and ruthless vendettas.
Navigating Albany's opulent society and its shadowy criminal underworld, Sloan follows a trail of secrets that threatens to unravel everything he thought he knew. Justice, loyalty, and deception collide as he faces off against an adversary far more dangerous than he anticipated. With time running out and secrets unraveling with deadly consequences, Sloan must rely on his instincts to uncover the truth-before the killer strikes again.
A Coffin is Waiting blends the glamor and grit of the 1920s with a tightly woven mystery that will keep readers on edge until the very last page.
