The Open Window Murder: A Jonas Lauer Mystery

With only a few weeks until the election, Sheriff Jonas Lauer wants nothing more than to have smooth sailings until election-day. However as the people of Monroe County, Tennessee get ready to cast their vote, Jonas finds his hands are once again filled with crime mayhem. He has to deal with an adult novelty store whose merchandise is scattered in the wind. Then there's the property dispute that turns into a proverbial mud fight. But when a local businessman falls to his death, everything starts spinning out of control. What first appears to be a tragic accident turns more sinister as the sheriff and deputies, Jack, Tom, and Glen investigate the circumstances surrounding the incident. When it looks like the victim was inadvertently involved in illegal activity and a mysterious stranger comes to town and gets into a gunfight in the middle of the highway, Jonas has to race to solve the case before anyone else gets hurt. On top of all of this, Jonas' longtime love interest Lydia's family comes to town, meaning it is time for the sheriff to meet the parents. Jonas has all of this to contend with as he fights to keep his seat as the "high" sheriff.
