One ship. Two suspects. And a killer everyone missed.
Private investigator Fen Maguire boards an Alaskan cruise with a cover identity and a cold case: solve a two-month-old murder that's turned into a jurisdictional nightmare. A woman's body was pulled from the Leon River, but no one knows where she actually died. Two sheriffs are locked in a turf war, each convinced the other arrested the wrong suspect. Both prime suspects are onboard. And Fen's job is to figure out which lawman got it right-before the case collapses entirely.
Posing as the ship's art instructor, Fen begins working the passengers. What he uncovers suggests both sheriffs might be wrong. Hidden relationships surface. Alibis that seemed airtight fall apart under scrutiny. And the more Fen digs, the more he realizes the victim had enemies neither investigator knew existed-each with motive, means, and opportunity.
The ship docks in three days. A killer is counting on walking away clean. With time running out and suspects scattering to different ports, Fen must cut through the lies, outmaneuver a murderer who's stayed two steps ahead of two police departments, and deliver justice before the Alaskan wilderness swallows the truth forever.
Murder On The Leon is a traditional detective mystery with classic PI investigation-cold case intrigue, police procedural elements, hidden motives, crumbling alibis, and a sharp investigator who sees what others miss. No graphic violence. No foul language. No sexual content. Just intelligent detective work and a race against time. Perfect for fans of clean private investigator mysteries and whodunit series.
Book 9 in the Fen Maguire Mystery series. Can be read as a standalone.
