He Needed Killing Too

Book 2 in the Needed Killing series. Dr. Philip Douglas was often described as a man who “needed killing.” When someone takes the description literally and puts a bullet through his head, the provost calls in James Crawford. As Crawford tackles his second case as a private eye, he also wrangles with the business side of becoming a licensed detective.

"I've been thinking about getting business cards." My good friend and the head of the Shelbyville homicide unit stared at me.

"Business cards?! You need to take this seriously, Crawford. You remember that what you are doing can be dangerous, don't you? Enforcing traffic laws can get a cop killed! How much more dangerous is a known murderer?"

The suspects include three authors Dr. Douglas recently angered. Was one of them angry enough to kill? Crawford will need all his wits about him to unravel the tangled threads of this case.
