The Slip Swing

A missing woman reaches across time. A teacher stands accused.

Fired from his teaching job and fresh off a divorce, Pat Riordan didn't expect unemployment to come with a murder accusation. When a young woman disappears, Detective Sergeant Donald Cromwell names Riordan a person of interest. Then two more women vanish, and Cromwell becomes convinced he's found his culprit.

Determined to clear his name, Riordan begins investigating on his own. But when he encounters the spirit of a woman who disappeared a year earlier, he is drawn into a mystery far darker than he imagined. As clues emerge from both the living and the dead, Riordan uncovers corruption, violence, and long-buried secrets lurking beneath the surface of his small college town.

With a stray dog at his side and a relentless detective closing in, Riordan must uncover the truth before an innocent man pays the price for someone else's crimes.

Set in a town where appearances can be deceiving, The Slip Swing is a gripping small college town mystery that blends crime fiction, supernatural suspense, and memorable characters.

Perfect for readers of Craig Johnson, William Kent Krueger, and John Connolly.
