Blood and Wisdom by Verlin Darrow

At first it's threatening phone calls, then they find a body in the well.  It's missing its head as well as its hands but it's still identified.  Who is harassing this spiritual guru and why?  She hires Karl to investigate the case.

Long and Short reviews and the author shared a copy of this book with me for review (thank you).  It has been published and you can buy a copy now. 

He gives her a bodyguard and starts checking out what he can.  The more he snoops, the more dirt he digs up.

With drugs, gangs, and death around the edges, it's hard to tell who will live and who will die before the end of the story. There's one after her money, even the cops aren't clean, who can you trust?  Almost nobody..

This author writes a very busy story with layers of secrets that must be uncovered to find the truth.  It's well-written, keeps your attention, and you're not sure how it's going to turn out until the end.  That's what makes a good mystery.
