The case is cold, three decades ago. Heather never saw her attacker’s face, as he was wearing a mask. At the time, the police did everything they could, but there have been new advancements in technology and Zachary hopes to turn up something he can use to solve the case.
Somehow, he needs to find a way to finally bring Heather some peace, even when it means dealing with his own painful memories.
He Was Not There is case #6 in the Zachary Goldman Mysteries series, but each book is a separate mystery and can be read as a standalone. Get your copy now!

While almost everyone, including the police detective whom he consults regarding his sister’s assault, feel that there is virtually no chance of solving a thirty-year-old cold case, Zachary brings his considerable skill, perseverance, and tenacity to bear and achieves the impossible. This is a compelling story of family misfortune, child abuse and neglect, and of the inadequacies and challenges of the foster care system. Zachary’s devotion to a sister who, in truth, is nearly a stranger to him is inspiring. His dogged determination and unrelenting resolve to help another individual, regardless of his own problems or limitations, make him a remarkable and uniquely appealing character. The engaging characters, the intricately detailed storylines involving relevant and provocative issues, and the beautifully crafted flow of narrative make the stories in this series enthralling, entertaining, and completely addictive. I am eagerly looking forward to the next one.
