Synopsis

Grave Regrets

Former chief warrant officer Sam Blackman lost a leg in Iraq and emerged from the VA hospital in Asheville, North Carolina, as a bitter civilian without a job or a future. But solving a series of local murders helped Sam find new meaning in his life. Now he and his partner, Nakayla Robertson, are opening a detective agency.

Their first client, a quirky elderly woman in a retirement community, makes a strange request. She wants Sam to right a wrong she committed more than seventy years ago. Her crime: stealing a manuscript from F. Scott Fitzgerald. Sam’s task seems simple enough: retrieve the woman’s lockbox and deliver the manuscript to Fitzgerald’s heirs.

But the lockbox is sealed with a swastika, a symbol his client insists predates the Nazis and reflects a scene from The Great Gatsby. Then a security guard is killed and the lockbox disappears. Not only has this investigation triggered a murder, but Sam’s final military case has followed him from Iraq, and neither he nor anyone close to him is safe…
