The Rose Bandit Jay Mims

A series of burglaries have struck the sleepy town of West Falls, South Carolina. Seven homes have been burglarized, with only a single red rose left at each crime scene. The local gossips have dubbed this cat burglar the Rose Bandit. Dan Landis, private investigator, has been hired to catch the thief. Haunted by the ghost of his dead partner and facing an empty bank account, Dan jumps at the opportunity. But, when a body turns up at the Rose Bandit's latest crime scene, Dan suspects there is more going on. He faces a dilemma: Catch the thief and make a quick buck, or prove that the Rose Bandit isn't a killer. In a town full of secrets and lies, Dan must uncover the truth. But, the problem with secrets is, they are usually buried for a reason. Serving as a prequel to "The Five Santas," this book makes a great entry into the adventures of Dan Landis and his misfit band of friends and family. Jay Mims offers a unique glimpse into the mystery and intrigue of the world of Dan Landis with humor, charm, and a heaping helping of Southern mystery.
