This week, I’m giving away two police procedurals. A routine traffic stop becomes the springboard for a surprising criminal investigation in Archer Mayor’s The Orphan’s Guilt . When John Rust is arrested for drunk driving, his lawyer looks for mitigating circumstances, such as the recent death of the driver’s younger brother. When it’s revealed the brother’s childhood brain injury was as a result of shaken baby syndrome, it becomes a murder case involving Joe Gunther and his Vermont Bureau of Investigation team. But, then vengeful memories are stirred to the point of violence, and the original suspect disappears.

How about a Detective Inspector Slider mystery by Cynthia Harrod-Eagles? In Cruel as the Grave, when a personal trainer is found murdered, his ex-girlfriend, found with blood on her clothes and hands, seems to be the obvious suspect. But, the more Slider and his team dig into it, the more suspects there are. There’s much more to this case than meets the eye.
