Now I lay me down

By Abigail Beecher

Colin Hunter, the purportedly civic-minded owner of a major investment firm, promises huge returns to convince a wealthy widow to 'invest' a half million dollars with him.The widow's grandson and only heir suspects that Hunter is running a 'Ponzi' scheme, so he hires Camille Stuart, Southern California's most conspicuous lady private investigator, to expose Hunter for the fraud that the grandson suspects him to be.Camille discovers the truth about Hunter's flagitious past and present and teams up with a fraud detective to 'con' the con man into offering a bribe to keep them quiet about what they've uncovered.Camille goes to see the widow at her luxury home to provide documented proof that Hunter is out to steal her half-million and discovers that the poor woman has been murdered.Camille pursues the widow's suspected killer and steps into the middle of three more killings . . . the con man's money man, the con man, and a police sergeant who is deliberately blown away by a pugnacious police lieutenant.Camille and two homicide detectives corner the widow's killer with irrefutable evidence and destroy any hope he might have had to slither away.Now I Lay Me Down is filled with the kind of action and drama that make Abigail Beecher a favorite author for readers who thoroughly enjoy fast-paced, 1-hour reading entertainment.
