A Trail of Lies is the third in the Jazz Ramsey mystery series from national bestselling author Kylie Logan. Jazz Ramsey is just getting used to the idea that her on-again-off-again beau, Nick, might actually be a permanent fixture, when she gets a strange call in the middle of the night from his mother: There's a dead man in her backyard. Nick's mom has a long history of drinking and a vivid imagination, so when no evidence of a body is found in the vicinity, Jazz is about ready to write off the claim. Just to be on the safe side, she brings over a human remains detection dog to sniff out the area, and to her surprise the animal leads her and the police to a nearby park, where a the body of a middle-aged man has been found. More surprising still is the photograph found in the man's pocket-of Nick's mother holding her infant son. She claims not to know who the man is, but the cops find out soon enough: he's a recently paroled convict who served thirty-five years for murder. So what was he doing in Cleveland, and what does he have to do with Nick? Painful as the answers may be, Jazz is determined to find them-even if it means risking her own life.
