Good Man Gone — K.T. Bowes

Dumped by a lover, damaged by a case … and then she stumbles over a body. Private investigator, Lexi Allen, committed two deadly sins in her rookie career - she let down her guard in a professional relationship, and she made a powerful enemy of a corrupt police officer in her private life. Battered, but too tough to quit, Lexi wrestles with her growing self-doubt and her insatiable hunter's spirit. Can she succeed as an investigator in this backwater New Zealand town, or will she become the failure her peers predicted? She takes a case that was meant to be easy, tracing the people in a thirty-year-old photograph. But when the priest who took the picture turns up dead, Lexi knows there's more to the story. Because someone is watching her as she investigates the death, and he doesn't care if she sees him. Something about this case has drawn a stalker out of the shadows, but what is he waiting for? Is he helping or hindering as Lexi probes the life of a priest adored by everyone? In the split second as a bullet flies towards her face, Lexi learns the painful difference between a friend and a foe. And a good man is gone, but do good men really ever exist? Grab your copy of Good Man Gone today and lose yourself in New Zealand's PI scene..
