The Disloyal Coroner: A Gripping Hardboiled Mystery with Twists and Secrets

By Paul Austin Ardoin

A dead deputy. A reopened murder case. And a coroner caught in the crossfire.

When a young sheriff's deputy is killed in a late-night hit-and-run, Coroner Fenway Stevenson soon discovers it was no accident. The deputy had only been on the job for a few days--but had he started unraveling secrets within his department?

Then a second case is thrown back on Fenway's desk: a murder that was supposed to be solved two weeks ago. But with new evidence, Fenway starts a new investigation--and someone in town is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the truth buried.

While Fenway chases two tangled murder investigations, her department is showing cracks. Her newest detective is missing critical details, and her working relationship with the sheriff, never exactly smooth, is growing increasingly tense. When doubt creeps in from all sides, Fenway must decide who she can rely on... and what it will cost to find the truth.

Sharp, layered, and brimming with suspense, The Disloyal Coroner is a tense and compelling entry in the Fenway Stevenson Mysteries. For readers who crave high-stakes investigations, forensic detail, and a protagonist who won't back down, this series delivers page-turning thrills with heart and grit.
