Murder At The Podium (Paperback or Softback)

Public speaking is terrifying. Being murdered mid-presentation? Even worse.

Dr. Jill Quint-licensed forensic pathologist, private investigator, and part-time vintner-is attending a grape grower's conference in Dallas when her relaxing trip turns into a front-row seat to murder. A presenter collapses at the podium, and by the time Jill reaches her, it's too late.

The victim was young, healthy, and charismatic-hardly someone you'd expect to drop dead mid-speech. But her grieving husband, Adam, suspects this was no freak tragedy. He believes her past ties to the Sinaloa Drug Cartel finally caught up with her-and he hires Jill to prove it.

When the autopsy reveals poison, Adam abruptly pulls the plug on Jill's investigation, leaving her suspicious... and determined.

Enter Detective Castillo. He's not ready to clear the husband-and brings Jill back in as a consultant, convinced she'll draw out the real killer just by doing what she does best. But the more Jill digs, the clearer it becomes: someone in Dallas has a secret worth killing for.

Murder at the podium is only the beginning.

This is book six in the Jill Quint, MD forensic mystery series-perfect for fans of whip-smart sleuths, slow-burn danger, and twisty medical crimes.
