Liars, Cheaters & Thieves (Detective Jackson)

LIARS, CHEATERS & THIEVESWhat does a man drugged and slashed to death by an unknown assailant have to do with a woman felled by a fatal heart attack after learning her bank account had been plundered? The cases seem as different as their scenarios — late night in a tavern parking lot and early the next morning inside a bank. But a troubling theory soon unites them: Was the first crime’s murder victim the second crime’s mastermind? There’s a case to be made for the connection between slain Iraq War vet Rafel Mazari and the bogus veterans’ charity that robbed Molly Pershing of her money and her life. But Detective Wade Jackson and his homicide team have even more damning evidence against Mazari’s wife — including a hypodermic needle and a scalpel. But when an identical murder claims the victim’s best friend, Jackson suspects a motive darker and more devastating than infidelity, greed, or love turned lethal.
