Murder By Suicide

- A Ray Hammett & Jessica Summers Short Mystery #1

About Murder By Suicide

Crime reporters Ray Hammett and Jessica Summers are asked to do a favour for their police contacts DI Matt Dean and DS Donat, who would like some good press for a job well done. The officers were called to the scene of an apparent suicide, but have quickly uncovered and solved a murder... Or have they? Ray and Jessica are too shrewd to simply write up the news item and take a few pictures. Something doesn't feel right. So they begin to nose around... and find that the pieces of this puzzle don't fit... If Rafe Masterson was forced to drink poison by his business partner to fake a suicide... why is there a bullet hole in his desk? How could the partner's plan to escape the scene by car have gone so wrong? Does the murder have more to do with the infamous gangster who was threatening Masterson? And what does the innocent-looking secretary have to hide? Much to the annoyance of their police friends, Ray and Jessica start to put together what really happened. The case hinges not only on who wanted Rafe Masterson dead, but who would want him to die in the manner he did... If they get it right, the pair might just prevent a second, truly awful crime. The clues are all there, alongside the lies, red herrings and misdirections. Can you solve the mystery before Ray and Jessica? From 5-Star Reviews for the Ray Hammett & Jessica Summers series: "...very intense and very well written" "...a great story, well written and beautifully constructed, with well drawn characters". "...a thriller... you can't stop reading" "I went back to Sherlock Holmes, this was awesome" "The mystery combined with the action and murder made it something I couldn't resist" "...characters were interesting and real... full of twists and turns" "...a fantastic whodunit thriller... Highly recommended" "...an absolutely awesome, intense read."
