Murder on the Rooftop

Description

Amidst the glitz and glamour of a police fundraiser, a shocking tragedy unfolds — a bone-chilling plummet from a hotel rooftop. A man's life is snuffed out, but was it a tragic accident, a desperate suicide, or cold-blooded murder? Minutes after the deadly fall, a tense altercation escalates into an arrest. Gio La Serta, caught in the crosshairs of suspicion due to an earlier disagreement, finds himself shackled, his freedom snatched away. To many, it's an open-and-shut case. But for private investigators Jake and Al, the hurried arrest reeks of foul play. Commissioned by a wealthy benefactor close to Gio, they're thrust into a whirlwind investigation, navigating the murky waters of a case with more twists than a mountain road. However, they soon realize they're not only uncovering secrets but are also becoming targets themselves. Tailed by mysterious black cars, receiving cryptic drives from faceless strangers, and sensing eerie tampering with personal belongings, their quest for truth turns into a dangerous game of cat and mouse. With a banquet hall full of police and a suspect list that grows by the minute, will Jake and Al decipher the enigma surrounding Niles Balderelli's death? Or will they become the next victims in a sinister plot that runs deeper than they could ever imagine? Dive into a world of intrigue, suspense, and dark revelations in the 22nd installment of the Northwest Cozy Mystery Series by a USA Today Bestselling Author.
