Slater's Vendetta (The Slater Mysteries #4)
T.J. Jones

Slater and Maggie are both suspects when the woman is found dead, but there are plenty of other possibilities. A billion dollar land deal, a victim with an expensive drug habit, and a grizzled police detective that might be on the take; all offer plenty of intrigue. But when the ten year old boy he's befriended is kidnapped, Slater goes after the leader of the street-gang, and it's up to Maggie to prevent another murder.
