Stone Dead

Stone Dead is Frank Smith's second novel featuring British Chief Inspector Neil Paget.
A routine robbery investigation turns into something much more sinister when a corpse is found in the well of a cottage belonging to photographer Peter Foster. Foster fears the body is the ex-husband of his current girlfriend, a model shooting on location in France. Worse, he fears Lisa may have killed him.
But Lisa herself has mysteriously disappeared, and the true identity of the corpse adds a strange twist to the already-convoluted crime. A murder has taken place—but who is the victim, and who is the killer? It seems everyone involved knows something, but not enough to piece together an emerging puzzle of love and hate—until a fatal mistake leads Paget to the shocking solution . . . in Frank Smith's Stone Dead.
