Bøger i The Clarke Lantham Mysteries serien

No secret stays buried forever.. When Nya Thales started her basement remodel, she expected a good hard project. But when an accidental exhumation gets her a chance at solving one of the biggest unsolved crimes in California history, her only hope for claiming an FBI reward lies in the fears of her neighbors, the memories of the survivors, and the secrets buried beneath her floorboards.

When ten-year-old Teddy Stride wanted to impress the professional snoop down the street, he opened his own detective agency. But when Teddy's father goes off the rails, and his precocious investigative prowess fails him, he turns to the only firm he knows who might be able to find out what's wrong before it's too late: Clarke Lantham Investigations. Clarke Lantham hates family squabbles, but something about Teddy makes it impossible to say no. Lantham had no way to know that taking the case would send him straight to the heart of the biggest academic scandal in state history, and set him on a collision course with ghosts from his past that could jeopardize his freedom, ruin his career, and endanger the life of everyone he loves.

An early morning phone call from law enforcement? Never a good sign in Clarke Lantham's world-but for a private detective desperate to make ends meet, a government paycheck for a measly three hour delivery job couldn't come at a better time. Playing postman might be a little beneath a PI's pay grade, but only an idiot says "no" to five hundred dollars for an early morning coffee-and-cake run. But when a Jeep runs him off the road and gunmen descend upon the accident, Lantham finds himself the unintentional custodian of the other driver and his business partner: two hapless geeks with a doomed tech company. With no phone, no car, no partner, and no hope of rescue, Lantham must survive a deadly game of hunter-prey through steep mountain terrain in a fog bank as dark and deadly as the secrets surrounding the package he was hired to deliver... ...before the gunmen's employer finds another target, closer to home.
