A dead father. A grieving daughter. Was it an accident, or was it murder? Journalist-turned-sleuth Isabel Long finds herself facing some new challenges after solving her first case in her small Massachusetts town. Her relationship with the owner of the Rooster Bar has ended, and the police are insisting she must work for a licensed private investigator before going solo. With encouragement from her sidekick—her ninety-two-year-old mother—Isabel finds work and a case. Chet Waters burned to death when his house caught fire and he was too drunk to escape. At least, that's the official ruling. His daughter, who inherited his junkyard, believes he was murdered. After doing some digging, Isabel creates a list of potential suspects, all with a grudge against Waters. Was his death an act of revenge? Isabel is about to find out . . . "A savvy and appealing protagonist." —Frederick Reiken, author of The Lost Legends of New Jersey Praise for Chasing the Case "A well crafted story with the perfect amount of tension, suspense and delicious intrigue." —Joy Norstrom, author of Out of Play "Will keep you guessing right to the end." —Susan Roebuck, author of Rising Tide
