Murder Takes a Break: A Truman Smith Mystery (Walker Mystery)

Murder Takes a Break: A Truman Smith Mystery (Walker Mystery) by Crider, Bill. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780802733085.

Randall Kirbo had disappeared during spring break; as far as the police are concerned, the kid had just decided to take off. His parents dont agree with that theory, and Truman Smith has some questions of his own. They get louder when he learns about the discovery of the body of a young woman, and the more the police deny any connection between the murder and the disappearance, the clearer it becomes that Randall is in serious trouble - if hes alive. Too quickly, Truman Smith realizes that hes in trouble, too. He cant trust his sources, he cant trust his witnesses, and its becoming clear that he might not be able to trust his friends. That leaves him with his cat, too many theories, and a target painted on his back.
