THE LOST GUN (WILKINS PULP Book 7)

A dead man. One bullet. No weapon. No crime scene.

When Daniel Mercer is found dead beneath the cliffs below his waterfront home, Detective Vince Allman expects the evidence to narrow the possibilities.

Instead, every new discovery widens them.

The last person known to have seen Mercer alive is Carina Vale, a fiercely independent artist who refuses to lie, refuses to speculate, and refuses to answer the questions everyone else thinks matter. Around her, rumours become assumptions. Assumptions become paperwork. Before long, the investigation begins building a story that the evidence itself cannot support.

As pressure mounts to solve the case, Vince finds himself fighting not only to uncover the truth, but to stop the investigation from settling for the easiest explanation.

Because sometimes the most dangerous thing in an investigation isn’t what you don’t know.

It’s what everybody thinks they already do.

The Lost Gun is a tightly wound crime novella about evidence, certainty, and the questions that refuse to stay answered.
