Brian Freeman’s latest novel is “Funeral for a Friend.” Jonathan Stride’s best friend, Steve, makes a shocking deathbed confession: he protected Stride by covering up a murder seven years ago. When a body is then found buried in Steve’s backyard with a bullet hole in the skull, Stride finds himself off the case and on leave from the Duluth Police Department. His only ally in clearing his name is wife, Serena. A hot summer, years earlier, someone was willing to kill rather than let secrets come out – and the suspect with the strongest motive is Stride. This book is also available in Libby/Overdrive and the CloudLibrary.
