Real Murder

by Lauren Carr

Overview

"It's not a real murder."

When Homicide Detective Cameron Gates befriends Dolly, the little old lady who lives across the street, she is warned not to get lured into helping the elderly woman by investigating the unsolved murder of one of her girls. "She's senile," Cameron is warned. "It's not a real murder."

Such is not the case.

After Dolly is brutally murdered, Cameron discovers that the sweet blue-haired lady's "girl" was a call girl, who had been killed in a mysterious double homicide..

Meanwhile, Prosecuting Attorney Joshua Thornton is looking for answers to the murder of a childhood friend, a sheriff's deputy whose cruiser is found at the bottom of a lake. The sheriff deputy had disappeared almost twenty years ago while privately investigating the murder of a local prostitute.It doesn't take long for the Lovers in Crime to put their cases together to reveal a long-kept secret that some believe it's worth killing to keep undercover.
