Double Indemnity

The Stonebridge Mysteries: Book One Sam Flynn dreamed of being a journalist until a car accident killed his parents and put his brother into a long-term coma. Now Sam spends his days as a landscaper toiling in the New England sun and his nights drunk in bed with the closest warm body. In his limited spare time he writes about Stonebridge's local crime and politics on his blog Under the Bridge. Then Sam's favorite client is found dead in her home-shortly after telling him someone has betrayed her trust. Sam can't believe her grief-stricken husband Nathan would be a suspect but the investigation focuses on him. Sam has always admired handsome Nathan from afar but now he puts his libidinous feelings aside to help clear his name. But the closer he gets to Nathan the more he's told to keep away from him and the investigation-by the fatherly police chief by an officer on the case who's hated him since school and by Nathan himself. Sam is determined to expose the real reason his friend died and to clear Nathan's name-even if it's the last thing he does. Which considering how fast the death toll is rising in Stonebridge... it might be.
