Murder of the Innocent (A Rachel Christie Mystery 4) (Rachel Christie Mystery Series)

A seven-year-old girl, drowned in salt water, is found hundreds of miles from the ocean.

A Hispanic male, father of three, is drowned in salt water and his body is discovered in a landfill. Private detective Rachel Christie must discover the connection.

She finds evidence incriminating her partner Cody and pulls out all stops to find the killer before her partner is indicted as a sexual predator, and worse, a murderer. Rachel is shot at, thrown in jail, stabbed and trampled by a horse.

Ron says she'll get herself killed. Sunbeam says Rachel's harmless to everyone but herself.

Illegal gambling thrives nearby. A registered sex offender is jailed for sending nasty emails to the girl. The political race for sheriff adds two more suspects. Would someone kill two people to win an election?

Too many questions. Too many clues. Too many lies. Too many suspects. Too little time.

A stand-alone mystery, this is number four in the series.
