Johnson and his partner, Zelda Thomson, are working to unravel a series of court cases gone horribly awry. As the investigation is conducted, a cryptic note comes into Johnson’s possession. In little more than an hour, a murderer strikes.
What started as a normal day at work suddenly spirals into one of the biggest murder mysteries in the state. Johnson must find the clues and stop the killer. But nothing could prepare him for the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help him God.

VASQUEZ Private Eye
A Futile Escape from the Snipe of Fate
By: Edward Bardes
Johnson Vasquez has not been the same since the day he left the Cincinnati Police Department. Already damaged by the death of his brother, he found himself hanging by a thread seven years later because of a lapse in justice.
Now, having lived to tell the tale, he has taken to a new line of work at a bicycle store, hoping to put his backstories to the furthest and darkest corners of his mind. What he doesn’t realize is that luck is his worst enemy.
A murderer crosses Johnson’s path again, and this time, it’s nothing like he’s seen before. His old career as a policeman tells him that fate cannot be trusted to be an ally if he is to find the perpetrator.
