There Are No Innocents

By BR Stateham

Homicide detectives Turner Hahn and Frank Morales are back – and they have a big problem.

That problem is David Stewart, an enormously rich, powerful lawyer, who’s sitting in his incredibly expensive car very much dead. Someone had a grudge against him, and they exhibited their dislike by blowing his brains out.

But who killed David Stewart? A partner at his firm? His wife, one of the richest woman in the world? Or one of the many jilted lovers David racked up over the years? And will the press leave Turner and Frank alone long enough for them to solve the case? Only one thing is for sure: money can’t buy you happiness.

At the same moment, a fifteen-year-old cold case has resurfaced with the discovery of Yasmine Hollander floating face down in the river. As a teenager, Yasmine ran off with a boy and was never seen again. Her strange disappearance suggested a kidnapping, but now Yasmine has returned to her home town – only to die mysteriously. Was it murder or suicide? Was the Detroit Mob involved in her disappearance and finally, her death? The deeper Turner and Frank investigate, the more surreal the case becomes…

Turner and Frank, the scary and successful team, are back – but now they have real problems to solve. Followers and newcomers alike will revel in B. R. Stateham’s mischievous and fascinating exploration of the cunning criminal mind in his latest novel. With hints of Raymond Chandler and Frank Colombo, the text is rich in plot twists and family secrets, all filtered through the eyes, minds and mouths of two true all-American cops.

B. R. Stateham is the author of the popular Turner Hahn/Frank Morales detective stories and several Smitty books as well as numerous works of science fiction and fantasy. He has also ventured into history with his Decimus Julius Virilis series which includes While the Emperor Slept, which is also published by Endeavour Media.
