Leave Dead Enough Alone - Paperback

by David K. Wilson (Author)

She was the last person anyone would want to hurt. So why did someone want her dead?

In this stand-alone addition to the award-winning Sam Lawson Mystery series, wise-cracking private investigator Sam Lawson starts looking into a woman's disappearance and finds the county sheriff and many of the locals have already made up their minds. Amy Booker-sweet, quiet, universally adored-simply skipped town to get away from her no-good husband. Case closed.

But Sam knows better than to trust easy answers.

Those that knew Amy best insist she wouldn't just leave without telling anyone. And the deeper Sam digs, the more he begins to sense something isn't right. A local do-gooder seems too good to be true, a mysterious homeless man knows more than he lets on, and Amy's co-worker starts sweating bullets whenever he talks to Sam. Behind all the friendly waves and church socials of this small rural community, Sam soon uncovers a web of greed, corruption, and bodies buried in plain sight.

With the help of Carla, his sharp-as-a-tack medical examiner wife, and Clyde Harlan, an earnest young constable who has a past with the missing woman, Sam starts asking questions no one wants answered. And in this town, asking the wrong questions can get you killed.

Leave Dead Enough Alone is the eighth thrilling stand-alone installment in the award-winning Sam Lawson Mystery series. If you love page-turning twists, quirky characters and sharp dialogue, you won't want to miss this gripping new small-town mystery from David K. Wilson.
