Dead Luck - Henry Walsh Private Investigator Series, #8

Private Investigator Henry Walsh and his partner, Alex, are at it again with another mystery they may not be able to solve together. Could this case be their last?

Former pro football star Ray Rivers swears he had nothing to do with the death of a high school principal found dead in the boy's locker room. But the rumors won't stop, and he'd like Henry and Alex to find who's behind them.

The case takes a sharp turn in the wrong direction, before they even get started, when Ray's wife is found murdered in her home. And it doesn't take long for the sheriff's office to take Ray into custody.

It's hard for anyone to argue against the evidence the cops have in their hands. But Henry knows it's too soon to jump to conclusions, with so many stones left unturned. Even with his doubts, Henry promises to do whatever he can to clear Ray's name.

But a shocking twist brings the case to a sudden and unexpected halt without resolution.

Henry knows it'll take more than just his persistence and an uncanny ability to solve a crime when nobody else can. But this time, he'll have to go it alone. And if he's not careful, the luck he's looking for will run out before he finds it…
