Family Matters: Lies Across Texas
About this ebook
Attorney JD Thompson leaves his practice in a small town to trace his sister across Texas. He can’t believe she would run away. She was always the good twin, something the story of her twenty years, the friends who aren’t, and the enemies who might be now call into question.
An attempted murder convinces him that his pursuit can lead only to a corpse. Still he searches with everything he’s got to uncover the truth, no matter what it reveals.
The third book of the Black Orchid Enterprises Mystery series takes this amateur sleuth into his darkest mystery yet, the beginning of a story that concludes in Book 6, Stealing Saints.
