He's a private investigator who drinks too much. His client is an old Indian woman who wants to know why her son was killed. They have a man in jail for doing it but he's a bit insane and doesn't know exactly what happened. The old woman thinks there is more to the story. She's willing to pay, it gives him more drinking money, he agrees to look into it. It's a cold case now but you never know what you might find...
Soho Crime and Edelweiss allowed me to read this book for review (thank you). It will be published May 1st.
This is not an uplifting tale but it is a good mystery. It's set in Alaska. The man was shot at his cabin and killed and then drug into the woods where bears ate most of him. Cecil begins talking to the people who lived in the area, his family, and anyone he thinks might have an insight into the situation. He even visits the jailed man.
The more questions he asks, the more people get upset. He's walking pretty close to death but he's still looking for answers. He finds what he wanted to know but it doesn't make him happy. The old woman is satisfied because she suspected what he would find but she's not happy either. Sometimes one can love too much...
