Motive for Murder — Victor L. Martin

Homicide Detective Shardasia Loken is viewed as a prodigy with the rare investigative skills she retains. On a cold wet October evening, she is summoned to the home of Melody Harrow in Raleigh, North Carolina. Melody's beaten and gouged body has the state clamoring for a suspect to be named and arrested. Lamont Harrow, Melody's prominent husband is a likely suspect with secrets he is willing to silence by all means. From paid sex to a private club of elite swingers, Loken will shovel through it all until she finds the motive for murder and the unlikely suspect that no one suspected.
