Galveston — Kent Conwell

DETOUR TO MURDER

Trouble is no stranger to any private investigator, but Austin P.I. Tony Boudreaux isn't expecting any when he stops in Galveston to visit a friend. Before the night is over, a shootout puts his detective buddy Ben Howard in a coma and leaves another cop dead, with Tony holding the gun…literally.

Tony knows he and Ben were ambushed on the Galveston docks. But his very public grudge against the dead cop makes him a suspect. His only chance to get out of hard murder charges is to find the truth. That means following a violent trail ruthless mobsters will kill to keep hidden. It's littered with smuggling, crooked cops, dangerous deals…and a very dead end for Tony.
