Hemlock and Homicide (A Smiley and McBlythe Mystery Book 12)

Description

Tinsel, treachery and toxins . . . the perfect Christmas cocktail.

When blind private investigator Steve Smiley’s partner becomes immersed in a high-stakes real estate deal, he finds himself at loose ends – until fate pairs him with an unlikely ally: a washout from the police K9 program.

In their first case together, what appears to be a simple matter of proving a pharmacist’s innocence in a poisoning death quickly unravels into something far more sinister. Each interview unveils a new suspect. Each lead exposes another motive. And someone is watching Smiley’s every move, growing more desperate by the day.

When arson lands his partner in the hospital, Smiley realizes someone will do anything to keep the truth buried. Now he must trust his heightened senses and his canine partner’s unique talents to uncover that truth before the killer silences them both.
