Ambiguous Win

Andrew Davie

Summary

Once a successful attorney, Morris Rock’s world changed the day a ruptured brain aneurysm brought his career to a halt. In the quiet aftermath, he discovers the concept of ambiguous loss: the grief that haunts those left behind when someone vanishes without a trace.
 
Still recovering, Rock makes a bold decision: to return to the field, not to argue in court, but to find the missing. Reuniting with his trusted investigator Cleon Odom, Rock takes on the case of Joan Bradley, who has disappeared.
 
For Rock, the case is more than an unsolved mystery: it’s a path back to purpose. While chasing answers for others, he's also in search of something deeply personal: the man he used to be.

Murder at the Dude Ranch

Lee Strauss, Norm Strauss

It's the beginning of 1957, and Rosa Reed takes a much needed break from her thriving private-investigative work by joining her cousin Clarence and Aunt Louisa for a weekend getaway at the Black Stallion Dude Ranch near Santa Bonita, California. Newly single and ready for a fresh start, all she needs is time on the trails and cuddles from her tabby cat, Diego. The peace and quiet of ranch life is soon disrupted when a horse returns from a trail ride without its rider. When foul play is determined, Rosa finds herself thrust once again into a murder investigation alongside the handsome detective Miguel Belmonte. Suspicion falls on many of the guests—the failed investment banker, the laundromat owner, the heiress, and, to Rosa's dismay, her own cousin Clarence. Can Rosa prove her cousin's innocence before the cows come home?
