The Shadows of Pike Place (A Thomas Austin Crime Thriller Book 2)

When the matriarch of a wealthy Seattle family dies under suspicious circumstances, private investigator Thomas Austin takes on the case. Seven people were present in the lakefront mansion at the time of her death: a spoiled son, a jealous brother-in-law, a beloved chef, a rebellious grandson, an arrogant memoirist, and two successful daughters. Each had motive and opportunity. To identify the killer, Austin investigates the family's past with assistance from a reporter and a discovered diary. His research reveals dark secrets tied to the criminal underbelly of old-money Seattle. However, as Austin moves closer to the truth, the investigation grows increasingly dangerous. Uncovering buried secrets from the past carries its own risks. This is the second book in the Thomas Austin Crime Thriller series.
