Drop Dead Forger: An Addictive Cozy Mystery

by Karl Fields

He returned to a life of crime over his dead body. Ben Wagner is an old friend of Kate’s, one she hasn’t seen in years. So imagine her surprise when he shows up at her door ... dead. After a stint in jail for forging diamonds, Ben went straight, or so Kate thought. Then why was he carrying a phony rock at the time of his demise? And what was it that brought him to her door? To answer those and other questions, she’ll have to retrace the footsteps that led Ben to his death, but she’d better tread lightly or she could face the same fate. Kate will also have to avoid the wrath of the homicide detective investigating the case, who’s itching to throw her in jail. The very second she slips up.
