Twisted Reason
Book Four in the Lt. Lucinda Pierce Mystery SeriesA quirky new case for Homicide Investigator Lucinda Pierce
When a missing elderly man shows up dead on his son’s front porch, Lieutenant Lucinda Pierce isn’t certain if she’s investigating a murder or one of the strangest natural deaths she’s ever encountered. Then, the search for a missing five-year-old girl leads to the discovery of the bodies of two more senior citizens. A failed abduction attempt leads Lucinda to a man who did all the wrong things for all the right reasons and to a strange little Wonderland built with little money and lots of imagination.
TWISTED REASON, the fourth novel in the Lucinda Pierce series, explores the pain and anxiety suffered by the families and victims of dementia. The case resurrects Lucinda’s pain over the deaths of her parents and changes her forever.
