KARMA IS A BITCH

Lassiter King learned that the hard way. Found dead in his home, the noted cardiologist was in the midst of a media firestorm after being outed as the hunter responsible for killing Achilles, a beloved lion living on a protected preserve. The doctor used a bow and arrow to make the kill, and now someone has returned the favor using the same type of weaponry. But is it lethal cosmic payback that played a factor in his death? Or simply coincidence? It’s Detective Nick Cross’ job to find out.

As the twelve-year veteran begins the arduous task of tracking down a murderer, he discovers that Lassiter was good at making enemies, and that there is a roster of people who have solid motives for wanting the medical professional dead. A gardener who was fired, an animal rights activist who owned the sanctuary where Achilles was shot, and the brother of a patient who died from the victim’s medical incompetence top the list. But a little more digging dredges up two more possible suspects … suspects that hit closer to home. The first is Lassiter’s wife. The prototype of a gold digger and one of the most unlikable people on the planet, her ego alone might account for her not wanting to share the spotlight with her spouse. The second is Lassiter King’s son. The eighteen-year-old undoubtedly has the most to gain … and lose. About to be cut out of his father’s will, he is also suspected of exposing his father as the one who engaged in poaching. Add in a rocky and sometimes volatile relationship with Lassiter, and he rises to the top of the suspect list as the one most likely to have committed the crime. But in Cross’ world, suspicion is never enough, and so he scrambles to uncover the evidence that will either convict or exonerate the culprit.
