Murder of the Prodigal Father
The First Connor Pierce Murder Mystery
Connor Pierce came home to bury his estranged father. When the the details of Dixon Pierce’s perverted last hours add up to murder, Connor reaches out to the high school cohorts he abandoned, one a local deputy, the other an ex-lover. Together, they set out to solve a mystery no one cares about. Intrigue, passion and indifference threaten to ruin his investigation, and one of them might get him killed.
Can Connor survive his father’s philandering legacy?
Mystery Author
Mark Wm Smith
An overeducated, blue-collar cowboy, I grew up on along the banks of the Yellowstone River in Eastern Montana. Raised by a long haul trucker and a bartending waitress, I learned the hard ways of the modern frontier, scraping life from the unforgiving high chaparral.
On occasion, I lived down the street from the last whorehouse in the West, spit dust from the end of a trail drive and stood beside the hardened lawmen facing down anarchist rebels. My stories are composites of people he knows, exaggerated by the thrills of a good tale.
