Ribs, Lies, and Alibis

By James L Reichenbach

Hank Briscoe knows smoke, meat, and the hard discipline it takes to keep a family business alive. He does not know why Wade Larkin drops dead at the Labor Day cook-off with Hank's rib in his hand-or why the town is already looking at him like the answer is simple.

As the investigation tightens, Hank and the people closest to him start pulling at threads buried under schedules, sponsor money, and old grudges. Every clue points toward a carefully staged frame job, and every new discovery makes one thing clearer: Wade was not just an enemy. He was leverage.

Now Hank has to find the truth before his smokehouse, his family, and everything he has built get dragged under by a story someone else already wrote.
