To Leave a Shadow

Pete Stone hadn't always been a private eye. He'd lost his dairy business at the toss of a coin when the depression hit. His children grew up, as children do, and his wife left him for a chinchilla farmer. He had learned to like his solitude. When Mrs. Lucille Hamilton walked through his door searching for her missing husband, Pete was the only one who believed her husband's death hadn't been a suicide. "With a clean, detailed, vigorous style, Graves introduces us to Detective Pete Stone, his worldly and lovable gumshoe. Set in 1930's Wichita, Midwesterners will take particular joy in Graves's depiction of the city and the jazz age in this compelling mystery." --Kevin Rabas, Lisa's Flying Electric Piano
