A trail of lies : a mystery
(Book)

Sequel to: The secrets of bones.

Jazz Ramsey's on-again-off-again beau, Nick, gets a call in the middle of the night from his mother, Kim: there's a dead man in her backyard. Kim has a long history of drinking and a vivid imagination, and Jazz's human-remains detection dog, Wally, finds no evidence of a body. When the body of a middle-aged man is discovered in a nearby park, and a photo of Nick and his mom is found in his pocket, something isn't adding up. Dan Mansfield was a recently paroled convict who served thirty years for murder. No one wants Jass poking around, but she won't give up-- even if it means risking her own life. -- adapted from jacket
