Introducing "The Horse Arm Case" by G. L. Keady, book 4 of the Axis Stone Mystery Series. You might wonder, do horses have arms? Well, in this case, one does. Axis Stone has made the Big Apple his new home, taking over the very office where his parents, Denise and Carter Stone, penned the famous Carter Stone hard-boiled detective series. Hundreds of those paperbacks fill the shelves, sparking memories of his youth for Axis. However, these memories take a dark turn when an old family acquaintance reveals a shocking truth-his parents didn't succumb to heart conditions in 1988; they were murdered.

Set against the backdrop of New York during the height of the Cold War, with spies lurking in the shadows, a soaring crime rate, and the dawn of the computer age, Axis faces a personal mystery like no other. To solve "The Horse Arm Case" and uncover the enigma of his parents' demise, he must employ every ounce of his detective skills while evading the deadly bullets of those who would rather let sleeping dogs lie.
