by D.C. Mercer
Port Alder Mystery Series • Book One
Daniel Reed came home to bury his brother. He planned to stay four days.
At sixty-one, the San Francisco trial lawyer expects to settle his brother's affairs and leave Port Alder behind. Then a longtime client's will contains one detail that refuses to add up, and a private investigator turns up dead at the base of the bluff trail.
Soon Daniel is untangling old land disputes, older grudges, and questions about the brother he thought he knew.
Four days, he'd promised himself.
Port Alder has other plans.
