The Files of Ms. Tree #2

In "The Cold Dish: Chapter One: The Right to Remain Silent...", Ms. Tree is drawn into a tense web when Ann Tree, her ex-husband’s first wife, asks her to look after Mike Jr. if anything should happen to her. The request takes a deadly turn when Ann is struck and killed by a passing car, leaving Ms. Tree with a promise to keep—and a mystery to solve.

In "The Cold Dish: Chapter Eight: Knee-Deep in Death," Ms. Tree closes in on Jason Edwards, the man behind a web of deceit, while a stolen packet meant for her sends her racing through a city thick with danger. As she checks in with Mike Tree JR., the tension spikes—only to deepen when he vanishes, leaving her to untangle a mystery that reaches into the shadows of Roger Freemont, Dan Green, and Bryan Hand.
