Detective Bradley Daggers Investigates

The Case of the Great Granny

This is murder in Los Angeles during the rainy season, a cold, hard winter of crime and misfortune has come to the city streets.  This is the scene and the atmosphere in which Detective Daggers must operate in order to find the hand full of criminals who have dispatched an elderly woman while trying to separate her from her wealth. 

Bradley Daggers, is a hard-nosed Los Angeles police investigator who must contend with the beautiful granddaughter and her extremely bad tempered disposition.  No part of this complicated case comes easily to this combative sleuth as he battles the elements, misleading clues, depraved relatives and bungling hit men, all bent on gaining access to the missing fortune. 

Gunfights and seduction top off this suspenseful mystery about modern family rivalry and unbridled greed.  This novel is a classic who-done-it with a unique plot and a theme as old as time itself, voracity, revenge, and self-righteous desire are the stepping-stones that lead to murder because of the lost family gold. 

The Case of the Great Granny is a mind bending suspense thriller that keeps the reader on edge and wondering what will happen next.
