Murder on the Oldman

by Scott Charlton Paul

In the hottest spring on record, Lethbridge's coulees are parched and tempers are rising. When a prominent rancher is murdered, private investigators Samuel Rigondeaux, a brilliant ex-librarian, and his partner Flagstaff, a disgraced Mountie, must navigate old grudges and simmering resentments to clear their client's name.
But as they dig beneath a community fractured by drought and desperation, long-buried secrets emerge—and the evidence begins pointing back to the very person who hired them.
Meanwhile, a familiar threat looms. The Crow Killer is orchestrating a lethal vendetta from behind bars, turning the upcoming murder trial into a calculated strike against everyone Samuel and Flagstaff hold dear.
