The James Deans is the third in the Moe Prager series by Reed Farrel Coleman. It has dropped to $0.99 at Kindle US, no idea why or for how long. Per SYKM, this title won (three) and was a finalist (two) for a bunch of awards back when it was first published.

Spoiler:

Still reeling from his wife's recent miscarriage, Moe Prager is bullied into taking the case of an up-and-coming politico whose career has stalled over the suspicious disappearance of a young woman. It's been almost two years since Moira Heaton, State Senator Steven Brightman's intern, vanished on Thanksgiving Eve 1981. In spite of Brightman's best efforts to clear his name, he has been tried and convicted in the press. As a reluctant Moe peels away the layers of the case, he discovers the tragic circumstances of Moira Heaton's disappearance are buried deep in the past and that there is another more heinous crime at the heart of it all. Will the ugly truth set Brightman free or will it bury all the players beneath the crumbling artiface of corruption, murder, and hate?

BTW, the second title in this series, Redemption Street, has been bouncing around between $0.70 and $0.80 for several months, so if you want to read it before this one, it's affordable. Link to previous post here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho....php?p=3288467

Sadly the same is not true of the first title, Walking the Perfect Square, which is currently $8.69, but does occasionally go on sale for somewhat less.
