Book #10 in the A Chet Gecko Mystery series
A partner accused, a disappearance, and a mysterious smear. Is it murder or something more?
Chet's partner, Natalie, is accused of blackmail and expelled from Emerson Hicky. Determined to clear her name, Chet dives into the mystery. But when Natalie disappears, leaving a suspicious red smear, Chet must unravel the truth. Is it murder, or something more sinister? As he navigates deception and danger, Chet faces a race against time to find Natalie and uncover the real culprit. Can he solve the case before it's too late?
Right in the middle of a run-of-the-mill case, the powers that be finger Chet’s fine-feathered partner, Natalie Attired, as a no-goodnik blackmailer and boot her out of Emerson Hicky quicker than you can say, “Boot her out of Emerson Hicky.” Chet, of course, tackles the case for free. Mess with his partner, mess with–well, somebody. (Natalie’s the brains of the outfit.) But just when Chet thinks he might clear her name, Natalie disappears, leaving behind a reddish smear that looks kind of like cherry ladybug jam. . . . Is it murder, or something serious?
