So Easy It's Criminal (Summers Rose Investigations)

By Mitchell R. White

So Easy It's Criminal... So Deadly It's Personal. PI Max Rose is settling in for six quiet weeks managing Summers Rose Investigations while his partner, Cat Summers, enjoys a much-needed sailing vacation. The expected lull in casework is broken by a high-paying, high-stakes assignment from LawForge, a powerhouse Bay Area law firm. Max is tasked with performing discreet, comprehensive background checks on six ambitious attorneys vying for a junior partnership. It seems like the perfect case to keep him busy - challenging, lucrative, and self-contained. But the easy money turns toxic when Abequa Stolzenburg, the first candidate on his list, is found murdered just hours after Max begins his preliminary research. Suddenly, Max isn't just the investigator; he's the prime suspect in the eyes of Detective Rye Bright, a young, dangerously ambitious Oakland homicide detective convinced Max is guilty. As Max scrambles to understand what happened, leaning on his sharp associate Sandra Ruffini and assembling his network of tech wizards and surveillance experts, the situation escalates. A second candidate is murdered, and the circumstantial evidence against Max becomes overwhelming, leading to his arrest. Though a third murder, occurring while Max is incarcerated, forces his release, Detective Bright remains relentless, convinced Max is somehow involved. Max realizes he's been expertly framed, caught in a conspiracy orchestrated from within the victimized firm itself. The background checks are now secondary; survival is paramount. Max and his team must race to uncover the truth behind the murders and expose the conspiracy connecting a ruthless LawForge partner, a shadowy fixer, and the corrupt Detective Bright. They must operate outside the law, risking everything to find the real killer before more lives are lost and Max takes the final fall.
