The Lacey Stocking Mysteries

A FAMILY MATTER

Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, 1948

Someone wants Edwin McMasters dead. He’s old. He’s loaded. He’s a ruthless businessman. And he has three greedy adult children who stand to inherit a fortune, and the family business, when he’s gone. Is it one of them or one of his business rivals? After a brief phone call with the cranky millionaire, Lacey Stocking, one half of the Hardley A. Witt Detective Agency, reluctantly takes the case. Lacey and Hardley expect a quick meeting with their client to discuss details. Instead, they’re hauled off at gunpoint to the McMasters’ family estate to uncover who wants the old man dead. With a shadowy figure lurking about, death threats, and a missing daughter will Lacey and Hardley stop the killer before it’s too late?

ROAD KILL

After working on the McMasters’ case, where toxic family dynamics were on full display, Lacey is ready to make amends with her estranged brothers, so she boards a bus to Chicago, with Hardley in tow, to pay them a visit. A wicked rainstorm moves in, causing Lacey to have second thoughts about the trip. Her fellow passengers are just as much on edge as she is, but for some, it has nothing to do with the weather. Poor visibility, flooded roads, they take shelter at a mountain lodge to wait for the storm to pass. Tensions rise. Someone dies. And now Lacey’s trip back home turns into a mystery to solve.

DEAD JOHN

Unassuming insurance man, Tom Harper, suspects his wife, Stella, is cheating on him so he hires Lacey to trail her. But when she catches Stella in the act of committing a crime, Lacey quickly learns there’s more to sweet, innocent Stella than meets the eye. As Lacey and Hardley get deeper into their investigation, they can’t shake the feeling that this case feels like a game someone is playing and they’re the pawns.
