A Touch of Morning Calm by Wayne Zurl

A TOUCH OF MORNING CALM…(Sam Jenkins Mystery #5)

Chief Sam Jenkins runs headlong into Tennessee’s faction of Korean organized crime when a mobster tries to shake down two former call girls attempting to establish a legitimate business. Soon, bodies begin piling up—all with a Korean connection—in Sam’s town of Prospect and nearby Knoxville.

Sorting truth from fiction calls for more than Sam and his officers can handle, so he turns to the women in his life for assistance. His wife, Kate, Sergeant Bettye Lambert and TV news anchor, Rachel Williamson contribute significantly in clearing the convoluted homicides.

A TOUCH OF MORNING CALM is available from Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords.
