Case of the Cold Case

G&B Detective Agency #5

by R.L. Link

Max and Skip are at it again when Milton and Monica bring a cold case into the agency. On a high shelf in the basement of the police department, Milton found a box of documents, reports and crime scene photographs that had sat in the evidence vault for decades. It had piqued the curiosity of an untold number of young detectives who took it down to look through it, only to put it back on the shelf still unsolved. Now Milton thought the case deserved another go, and this time he thought that the detectives at the G&B Detective Agency were the ones to do it. Max and Skip agree to investigate the sad, unsolved case of a college girl who hitched an early morning ride back to her home in Moline, Illinois, only to end up strangled and raped at the back entrance to a city park, her clothing neatly folded and placed by a fence next to her.
The two detectives, with the help of Monica, Milton and Max’s new friend Delbert, start putting the pieces together, each one leading to the same dead end. But as they get closer to the truth, a surprise turn of events places them all in an uncomfortable situation where they must decide whether to follow the letter of the law or make their own judgement of where justice lies for a murdered college coed named Nancy.
