The Last Dirty Case

Lord Aldric Vanthorpe III is dead, the city's power elite are circling the corpse like sharks in silk suits, and every detective who touched this case before you either took a bribe or took a beating. You are broke, your license is thirty days from suspension, and the only person who just walked through your office door is the widow herself — offering you a retainer that could clear every debt you've ever owed. But the moment you take her money, you're already inside the trap. Three people want three different outcomes. Only one of them is telling you anything close to the truth — and you have seventy-two hours to figure out which one before the DA's office shuts the case permanently.
