Maddie Richards Mystery Series by David Bishop
Maddie Richards Mystery #2
Death of a Bankster
David Bishop
Maddie Richards finds herself in the middle of a case which starts with the sights and sounds of just another murder investigation. A woman claims her husband, a banker, was murdered. Later, Maddie learns that the woman had begun divorce proceedings the day before she claims a bullet had taken her husband from her. The murder greased her path to not only ending her marriage, but negating any need to divide their marital property. Then the wheels come off and nothing about Maddie's case is what it seems. Ryan Testler, last seen in David Bishop's novel The Woman, guest stars. Maddie's son, Bradley, and her mother, Rita, return as the stable underpinnings to Maddie's life. On her day job, Maddie continues to work her strange and twisting investigation. At night, she is increasingly taken with the most unusual and fascinating man she has ever known - Ryan Testler. On his day job, Ryan carries out his latest mission in his usual over-the-line style. Along the way, the sparks between Maddie and Ryan get hotter and hotter while they struggle to resolve their conflicting views on justice and whether the end can justify the means.
