About
"When he turned they were almost on top of him - two orbs of blinding white light, racing toward him like craven monsters..."
In Road Kill, the second installment in the Sidney Reed Mystery Series, Alaska P.I. Sidney Reed is still haunted by the memory of his late wife Molly, even as his doubts about her alleged suicide grow. Still smarting from the loss of his beloved Subaru to a huge bull moose, Sidney is lured away from his dingy apartment above an Anchorage coffee shop by his friend, renowned Alaska attorney Eddie Baker, who persuades Sid to help him defend a drug-addicted snowplow operator accused of the hit-and-run death of Willie Olson, the son of a prominent indigenous community leader. With the trial dominating the headlines and the Alaska Native community on edge, tensions are running sky-high, but Eddie assures Sid that he is only there to provide routine trial support.

Sidney Reed is still haunted by the memory of his late wife Molly, even as his doubts about her alleged suicide grow.

With the trial dominating the headlines and the Alaska Native community on edge, tensions are running sky-high, but Eddie assures Sid that he is only there to provide routine trial support.
But as the road-weary P.I. delves into the case, he begins to doubt his client's guilt. These suspicions are reinforced when a key witness surfaces whose testimony could blow the case wide open. Suddenly, Sidney and his witness find themselves in the crosshairs of malevolent forces hell-bent on seeing to it that Baker's client is convicted. Complicating matters is Sid's growing relationship with Maria, the beautiful and mysterious newspaper reporter covering the trial. She's determined to help Sid, but can he trust her? With the lives of his client and witness hanging in the balance, Sidney is determined to make things right, and nothing - not drug dealers, dirty cops, or the bitter Alaska cold - is going to stop him.
