All Carson Reno Mystery Series books are stand-alone novels. It is not necessary to listen to them in any particular order. 

It’s spring 1962, and a sergeant with the Memphis Police Department is found dead only hours before his scheduled testimony before a grand jury. 

Was it suicide, or was it murder? What was he going to testify about? A handwritten note left by the sergeant and addressed to the district attorney disappears. What was in the note? Was it a suicide note with information regarding his pending testimony or something else? 

A woman claiming to have information related to his planned testimony comes forward and seeks protection. Carson is hired to look into the matter and provide protection to the mysterious woman, but protection from whom? 

The situation gets out of hand quickly, and Carson finds himself in trouble with most everybody involved. A dark cloud hangs over the truth, as he tries to determine the "good guys" from the "bad guys" from the "bad good guys".

This old-fashioned crime story takes Carson Reno and his crew on a complicated adventure, where it seems that no one is looking for a solution. Join our cast of Characters and come along to help Carson find the clues and discover the truth, while he tries to understand why everyone has a serious lack of candor.
