The Case of Maude Daley P L Morgan

Twenty years ago, a brutal murder in a quiet suburb of America would ultimately go unsolved: The Case of Maude Daley. Paul Johnson is a detective in the police department of Boise, Idaho... the lead investigator when the case was fresh on the minds of the community and freshly inked in the newspapers. But with his retirement looming in just 93 days, he has made it his mission to finally crack the long-dormant mystery. Nearly three-thousand miles away, Karen Glover is nowhere on Johnson's radar, yet her new work of fiction bears way too many similarities to the details of the real case of Maude Daley. In a storm of long-kept secrets, and amidst the thunder of unlikely lives clashing together, Detective Johnson sets out to discover how Karen could possibly have written her book without knowing something of the real murder. Is Karen a suspect... perhaps the first he's had in over twenty years? Or did she know someone who might have shared information with her about the case? The clock is ticking... 93 days... he is determined to find the answers, uncovering secrets along the way that will shake a family to its foundations and change the lives of two women forever.
