Petty, Greedy, & Evil
(2026)(The second book in the Northland Investigations series)
A novel by Matt Abraham
After closing his toughest case one year ago, Private Detective Jake Carter has settled back in his hometown of Stockton. Now, instead of corporate jobs, he's working for the locals, solving small cases that help in big ways. But when the careless actions of the utility giant West Coast Electric result in yet another preventable forest fire, their CEO, Lindsay Pinault, is found brutally murdered a mile from her Stockton home, and even though a mountain of evidence points to her husband, Carter decides to investigate.
But what started as a straightforward job takes an unexpected turn when it's discovered that Lindsay's cellphone was stolen, which may hold secrets even more valuable than its million-dollar diamond cover. Add in a grieving family that's vowed revenge for their son's death, the merciless members of WCE's board, and a relentless assassin who dogs him at every turn, and Carter quickly finds himself in the burning heart of a billion-dollar secret, one that California's most dangerous energy company will do anything to contain.
Can Carter solve the mystery, catch the real killer, and save an innocent man from a life in prison? Or has he finally met his match in the state's most ruthless energy monopoly, a monopoly that holds all the power?
