The Residents of Alabaster Court

About the Book

Seventeen-years ago in the city of Lexington, Kentucky, a young woman’s body was found floating face down in a backyard pool in Alabaster Court. The brutal and shocking murder left no signs of evidence except that one of her red tennis shoes was missing. Detective Carl Spencer, who had been a young police officer called to the scene at the time, and Homicide Cold Case Detective Steve Martinez team up to investigate the cold case that has haunted Detective Spencer all of these years. Everyone is a suspect as the two Detectives travel backwards in time to try to solve the crime. What they discover are the many skeletons in the closets of the residents of Alabaster Court.
