Murder On The Wichita: A clean Christmas murder mystery

Substituting for an art teacher on medical leave, artist and private detective Fen Maguire is asked to investigate a long-standing cold case. Seven years ago, a realtor swindled local residents out of millions, then disappeared without a trace. Her victims want their money and they want justice.

With the police no longer interested in solving the case, Fen agrees to investigate. The police are suddenly plunged into a new case—the reporter who wrote exposé articles on the fraud victims is dead. The waters surrounding his case get murky when Fen discovers the paths of the missing realtor and the dead journalist intersect. With the senior police detective refusing to believe there’s a connection, he’s on his own.

Digging deep into the past, Fen finds a long list of people with reason to kill both the reporter and the realtor. With no help from the police, it’s up to him to follow the trail to the money… and the killer.
