Alton Rhode Mysteries #12

By: Lawrence De Maria

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Brother and sister orphans find the man who abused them!

Alton Rhode goes to Oregon to bury his aunt. It turns out she left him a valuable piece of property. But that is not his only surprise. A local sheriff seeks his help on what she suspects is the murder of a prominent citizen. There are few clues and no real evidence of foul play. But a discovery by some kids on a field trip tantalizes the private eye. What he eventually finds out tests his faith in both justice and the law.

And finally, for me, the writing in Chapter 14 was perfection.
