Death, Deeds, and Deception
(2026)(The fourth book in the Keira James Cozy Mystery series)
A novel by Aleena Vale
The most dangerous secrets aren't hidden. They're filed.
When respected attorney Harold Benson is murdered after asking questions about a small piece of land at the center of Brookhaven's biggest redevelopment project, City Hall archivist and amateur sleuth, Keira James, is asked to finish the work that cost Harold his life. Missing records and shifting property lines soon convince her that someone has spent generations protecting far more than a family legacy.
With her beloved cat Whisper keeping watch, Keira turns to Detective Keller, tech investigator Felicity, and records analyst Ivy. Together, they discover that Brookhaven's public records have been quietly telling a story no one thought to question.
The trail leads to a developer racing to keep a multi-million-dollar project alive, and a grandson, whose family's fortune depends on the past staying buried.
If Keira can't uncover the truth before they break ground, she could become the next obstacle the killer decides to bury.
