The Underground Murders (Mavis Davis Mysteries, #6)

by Susan P. Baker

Overview

Sharp-witted Private Investigator MAVIS DAVIS dives into a web of deceit, intrigue, and corruption on the Texas Gulf Coast when a determined banker's widow challenges the medical examiner's ruling that her husband's suspicious death was a suicide. As Mavis scrutinizes the autopsy and questions those involved, she uncovers a chilling truth: the supposed suicide was actually a gruesome murder.

 

Each revelation pulls Mavis deeper into the murky waters of political scandal and corruption, where the line between justice and vigilantism blurs. As she unravels a conspiracy designed to silence those entangled in covert activities echoing political headlines, Mavis realizes the widow, her associates, and she herself are perilously close to exposing dangerous truths.

 

Amid mounting threats and the looming specter of violence, they must race against time to uncover the sinister plot before they become its next victims.
