Five Card Murder (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781735030296)

An inheritance worth millions. A killer with a list... and Smiley's on it.

Blind PI Steve Smiley unexpectedly becomes the executor of a large Texas estate after the rancher dies under suspicious circumstances. His task becomes even more complex when the ranch's foreman is found murdered.

As Smiley delves into his executor duties, he realizes there is no shortage of suspects in the dysfunctional family. Any one of the four siblings could be responsible for one or both of the deaths. But which one wanted the land bad enough to kill for it? Or was it a conspiracy?

Hired by the foreman's family to find his killer, Smiley's investigation unearths a long-buried family secret that could solve the mystery, but will it lead to more bloodshed? If Steve doesn't stop the killer, the next funeral could be his.

Escape to South Texas with Smiley and McBlythe as they seek to untangle the web of intrigue, mystery and murder surrounding the last undeveloped lakefront property in the state.
