About
When former teacher and reluctant sleuth Pat Riordan attends a colleague's funeral, he expects grief-not suspicion. But when the widow presses a cryptic letter into his hand and quietly asks for help, Pat is drawn into a troubling mystery that won't let go.
Joe was a good man. Thoughtful. Careful. He'd recently launched a university course digging into local cold cases-an unusual move in their quiet college town. Then he took a fall. Went to the hospital. And died.
Now, with nothing more than a few clues-what Pat comes to call the cues-he finds himself peeling back the genteel façade of a town steeped in privilege, secrets, and decades-old disappearances. What he uncovers hints at power, corruption, and quiet ruthlessness hiding in plain sight.
Told with crisp dialogue and a deep understanding of human nature, The Cues is a mystery that honors the traditions of classic storytelling while offering a fresh voice in modern amateur sleuth fiction. No gore. No gimmicks. Just smart, subtle suspense from an author who knows the quiet ways truth can hide-and how determined people can bring it to light.
For readers who enjoy thoughtful mysteries, well-drawn characters, and a slower burn with satisfying depth.
