Red Herring Season - Ted Tayler

A journalist’s exposé. A young man’s murder. And a truth no one is ready for. When retired journalist Sid Selman’s exposé rips the lid off a hidden world of prostitution and domestic slavery, the town’s sinister secrets begin to unravel. Corruption runs deep, but the county police have long turned a blind eye. As Detective Gus Freeman takes over the investigation, the case is clouded by red herrings and misplaced suspicions, leading him down treacherous paths. Meanwhile, the murder of Matt Archer at Blades Farm appears unrelated at first—but the two investigations are connected in ways Gus never expected. With the stakes higher than ever, Gus must untangle a web of lies and deceit, revealing a truth far darker than anyone imagined. Red Herring Season is a gripping cold-case mystery where corruption, murder and betrayal collide.                                                                                                                       Praise for Red Herring Season: ? ? ? ? ?
