Sarah A Benjo Lane Case

Sarah Fleming was a deranged stalker who attempted to murder the wife of a prominent local pastor and was shot dead when the pastor's wife defended herself. That's the official ruling of the police and the local prosecutor as they rule Sarah's death a justifiable homicide resulting from self- defense. Sarah's surviving family and friends refuse to accept that and reach out to Benjo Lane, a tattooed, bearded, reclusive ex- police detective who lives in the middle of nowhere with only a cat for company. They want Benjo to use his investigative skills and new private investigator's license to figure out why Sarah- quiet, sane, normal Sarah who wouldn't hurt a fly- ended up dead in the office of a woman who, by all accounts, was a complete stranger to her. Benjo takes the case for his own personal reasons and promises to find out what really happened. His investigation takes him down a winding path that reveals that no one is what they seem, everyone is lying, and that some secrets are better left buried.
