Cruelty Exposed: A Jack Beale Mystery

by K.D. Mason

Evil exists in the world. While some exists out in the open for all to see, more often, it exists out of sight, perhaps as close as one’s own back yard. As another successful summer season at Ben’s Place, a local NH seacoast restaurant and watering hole, is coming to a close, when Suzy, an employee at Ben’s, disappears.

At the same time, two strangers arrive in the seacoast, one, a mysterious Inspector investigating a human trafficking enterprise, and the other, a woman looking for a long-lost friend . . . then, a member of the seacoast’s monied elite is found dead in his home.

As the bodies pile up, Jack Beale and his girlfriend, Max, are slowly pulled into the shadowy world shared by both the Inspector’s investigation and the mysterious woman’s search for her friend. Complicating matters, Jack must deal with his own jealousy over Max’s yoga instructor, making this an intriguing tale of mystery, suspense and romance.
