Endwell Investigations

When Alastair Stewart loses his wife and unborn child and is badly injured in an ambush in Miami, he moves back home to upstate New York to begin his life over. He opens a private investigation agency. Along the way, he rescues a dog thrown from a moving car. Sherlock becomes his faithful sidekick as he investigates an explosion in a local bluestone quarry. Then a dying mother persuades him to take on a cold case, her autistic son who disappeared 10 years ago. His investigation not only leads him to the boy, now a man, but also a drug and money laundering ring.

Can this wrongful conviction be overturned? A teenager was found guilty as an accomplice in a robber murder. His brother has tried unsuccessfully for years to get the case reopened. Now a University Law Center has taken it on. It's the boy's last chance.

Why has this guy been murdered? Jason Belvedere is found dead in his car on a sunny Sunday afternoon at the local golf course. There's no apparent reason for the murder: the man has no criminal record or apparent enemies. When the cops can't close the case, the dead man's widow calls in Alastair Stewart of Endwell Investigations.

Is it justice? When Ahmed sees the chief perpetrator of a mass murder in a Wegmans Supermarket, the horror all rushes back to him. He was a small child in Yugoslavia in the 1990's when the country split along ethnic lines. He and his father and grandfather were rounded up with the other men and boys from the village and herded into a deep trench where they were slaughtered. He was saved by his father and grandfather throwing themselves on top of him.
