Ales, agents, and alchemy, paperback/jabe stafford

Former bartender Ryne Clayten cant prove the CEO of Americas favorite pub chain murdered his sister.

Alchemy that brews beer and distills liquor isnt a cause of death the justice system recognizes.

CEO Lawrence Grant saved alchemy and wove it into alcohol to keep it alive in todays skeptical modern age.

Hes got every right to ruin Rynes life for these accusations of murder.

Ryne seeks out Craft alchemy to turn it against Lawrence.

He brews his own ales with it.

He finds he loves the alchemy that Grant used to end his sisters life.

Ryne must work with his sister-in-law, an ATF agent, to out-think the alchemist serial killer hot on his heels.

They need records proving Grants liquor alchemy is poisoning thousands and killing dozens.

If he proves Grants guilt by the judges deadline, hed risk the alchemy he loves being outlawed.

New Prohibition wouldnt be good for his wallet.

Grant knows his business wouldnt be the only thing ruined if alchemy became illegal.

Hell make sure Rynes death is quieter than his sisters was.

One sip of lethal Craft bourbon is all it would take to win yet another deadly mind game.
