Get Tangled in Philadelphia, PA Author's Suspenseful New Murder Mystery

"Is this Human Nature?" a suspenseful new murder mystery by C. Edward Peterson, has been released by Dorrance Publishing Co., Inc.

About the Book: An accountant supervisor is murdered in what appears to be a senseless parking garage robbery, leaving her teenage daughter and mother grasping for meaning in the tragedy. Her mother, a former Philadelphia detective, suspects there is more to the crime. Uncles and cousins, most of whom are also involved crime busting one way or another, reunite at her funeral and work together to unravel the mystery of who killed her and why-before it's too late and more innocents are killed.

With very few clues or leads, cousin Derek and his partner, Mickey, try to track down missing files from an alleged blackmailer and get tangled in a web of corrupt investment brokers, businessmen, political figures, thugs, a crooked detective, and a European hit man with an ever-changing alias. As they race to find the mastermind behind it all, they realize that everyone's a suspect in this case: even one of the F.B.I.'s own detectives!

From F.B.I. special agents to private investigators, a U.S. Deputy Marshall, and a former CIA department chief, C. Edward Peterson weaves riveting dialogue, colorful twists, and suspicious turns into this suspenseful murder mystery.
