Description
Family: What you don't know can kill you.
As the holiday season rolls in-fall holidays, that is, from High Holy Days to Thanksgiving-young attorney JD Thompson basks in his life in a small Texas town where he and his ABBA tribute band roommates live with the seventy black cats that his veterinarian partner rescued. Probate cases with inheritance squabbles leave him time to help out family members, like when his grandfather receives a surprising present from the past. But the squabbles turn deadly, the present isn't a gift, and the lovely woman who captures his heart isn't what she seems. Knee-deep in ashes with murder on the doorstep, JD races to defend his client and family. Can he untangle the dark secrets that threaten to destroy everything he holds dear? The walls are already splattered with blood.
Join JD on his fifth adventure in the Black Orchid Enterprises Mystery series today.
