the right turn

About the Book

When self-made Los Angeles billionaire Clint Jason dies in a tragic car accident, a long list of people profit handsomely from his death. Before Clint died, he believed someone was trying to kill him. From his grave, he wants the killer found and punished. Tric Lee, a rakish, rule-breaking private detective, has been hired to investigate Jason's death.

The beneficiaries of Clint's wealth include his attorney, Lewis Boné; his grown children, Allison, Christina, and Westley; his wife, Veronica; and Steven Dalheim, director of Jason's pet charity Protect Animal Rights. They're shocked, however, when an unknown codicil is produced at the reading of the will. Tric methodically follows the evidence to prove Jason's death was no accident. His investigation uncovers a myriad of issues, including infidelity and family greed, and Tric finds himself infatuated with one of the lovely suspects-who soon turns up dead.

An engaging whodunit, The Right Turn holds many surprising twists for Tric and his talented assistant, Cricket Jackson, who doggedly pursue every lead, no matter how small, to uncover a secret that one suspect doesn't want exposed.
