Access Denied: The Alec Stover Mysteries - #2

by Merrill Heath

Private Investigator Alec Stover doesn’t like adultery cases. In fact, he generally avoids that kind of detective work. But when Carol Cahill walks into his office, he feels an immediate connection and takes her on as a client without hesitation. She suspects her husband, Bob, is having an affair with Alice, the wife of his business partner, Ted. But all the jokes about Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice quickly lose their humor when Alice is murdered.

Homicide detective Emma Radcliffe is assigned the case and it all looks to be pretty cut-and-dried, until Alec provides evidence to suggest that someone may be framing Bob for the murder. Then, when an attempt is made on Alec’s life, Emma is convinced things are not as simple as they appear. Past infidelities, scandals, and another suspicious death come to the surface the deeper she digs. She’ll need Alec’s help to figure it all out. But for Alec it’s more than just an interesting case. This time it’s personal.

Book #2 in the Alec Stover mystery series.

About the author

For my entire life, I’ve had a love of books and reading, originating from when I was a child and my parents read to me. As I grew older, I developed a great fondness for mysteries. I loved Sherlock Holmes and even had an authentic deerstalker hat.

Today I enjoy reading just about any genre as long as the characters are interesting and the plots are intriguing. But hardboiled detective stories and crime novels are my favorites. And writing in this genre is a lot of fun.

I am the author of four novels, two novellas, and numerous short stories. I'm currently working on Fast Eddie, the third book in the Alec Stover Mystery series, which will be released soon.
