Donna Taylor showed up in the middle of Jack Beer’s mid-morning butter tart/coffee break to insist the reluctant investigator look for her missing brother. His new client is an enigmatic woman with dark secrets… secrets that, once uncovered, may be key to solving the case. Along the way, Jack flushes out red herrings, skirts around false trails and navigates through trickery and deception — all in a day’s work for a gritty rural P.I. who doesn’t know the meaning of the word, ‘quit.’
