Ghost Letter

The third title in the Alice MacDonald Greer mystery series, Ghost Letter follows the lawyer and sometime sleuth as she continues to build her practice-and her life-in the arid beauty of Texas Hill Country.
When a local antiques dealer presents a letter to Congressman Sandro Navarro that suggests his father, Alejandro, is the illegitimate heir of a long-dead oil scion named Alex Drinkman, Alice knows that this information will likely cause plenty of waves in the community.
Sure enough, someone leaks the letter to the press, setting off a chain of events that culminates in the death of one of Sandro's top aides...and Alice agreeing to represent ninety-four-year-old Alejandro in his quest to establish himself as Drinkman's rightful heir.
But powerful oil barons don't take kindly to people staking claim on their land or money. Alice and Alejandro quickly find themselves targets of the Drinkman family's considerable power-plunging Alice into a world of antique rifles, spy technology, and corrupt politics-all while juggling her friendships with local characters like Red, who runs a horse rescue operation, and navigating an increasingly smoldering relationship with Ben Kinsear.
