Americarnie Trash

The way the Americarnie tell it, we used to run this country we now tour with our cheap carnivals. Then again, we also claim we’re descended from angels! The truth lies somewhere in-between: in the darkness beyond the lights, a place of freaks and tortured souls where the Carnival Diabolus lies. That’s where Lorn has gone: me too, if I’m to save him. I’m just not sure how to return…Garrett and Tiffanie Bate had it all—youth, money, and a perfect marriage. Until Tiffanie is killed in a suspicious accident. Neither the police nor the insurance investigators can prove she was murdered and the case turns cold. Two years later the insurance company asks an intern—former college professor turned private eye Ray Courage—to reopen the investigation. He uncovers little new evidence to support suspicions that Garrett killed his wife for the insurance money. Garrett has the perfect alibi—hundreds of witnesses that place him more than two hours from the scene of Tiffanie’s death. Ray knows he’s missing something. But what? As his search for the truth unfolds, Ray’s life is put in jeopardy and he realizes his adversary is someone who’ll kill before he’ll be caught.In this prequel to Courage Matters, Ray Courage begins his private investigation career, displaying the skills, abilities and sense of humor that have made him a fan favorite around the world.
