Twenty years have passed since Raymond Douglas went to prison for the kidnapping and murder of a local businessman’s wife. Now Douglas’s daughter has hired private investigator Martin Preuss to track down a previously-unknown accomplice to the crime—who may not even exist. But no sooner does Preuss get involved than he finds himself entangled in two murders, a family whose wealth has bought them nothing but trouble, a body discarded in a dumpster, and a web of deceit stretching across metropolitan Detroit from the megarich suburbs to a hardscrabble trailer park. 

AN UNCERTAIN ACCOMPLICE is a must-read for fans of the Detroit-based noir of Elmore Leonard and Loren Estleman, as well as the psychological thrillers of Henning Mankell and Karin Fossum.
