Death by Blueprint (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798990045729)

In Seaside Cove, building a future may come at a deadly price.

When Rick Atwood's contractor is found murdered at the construction site of his family's new home, Seaside Cove's mayor makes a shocking move-ordering the police to shut Rick out of the investigation entirely.

Certain there's more at stake than finding a killer, Rick uncovers the mayor's quiet ties to the town's most powerful developer and launches his own discreet search for the truth. But keeping his sharp-eyed thirteen-year-old daughter out of danger proves impossible-especially when Alex teams up with Shadow, an enormous Newfoundland with instincts as keen as her own.

As Rick navigates backroom deals and town-hall politics, Alex and her four-legged deputy follow a trail of hidden plans, buried evidence, and long-standing grudges. Their discoveries expose a deadly scheme rooted in the past-and force a desperate killer to strike again.
