The Fourth Vote (Canton County Chronicles Mysteries Book 4)

Loyalty lies in the beholder’s eye…

Loyalty, longing, lies and loss propel Kit toward her goals-- and possible deadly disaster.

Canton Circuit Court Clerk Kit Babcock looks to an uncertain future as she faces life-changing decisions. Can she build her case for an appointment to the bench?

After an unsolicited assignment by the Chief Justice to a committee, Kit becomes the deciding vote on whether a major courthouse renovation will proceed. Rockewell Clewes, the wealthy father of Kit’s rival, Pris, backs the campaign for an updated building. But the award of the lucrative construction contract to Clewes would help line the coffers of his daughter’s expected bid for the same judgeship to which Kit aspires.

And after Kit’s mentor, Judge Bellamy, gets a temporary assignment to the Supreme Court as a special justice in a murder case, he escapes an attack that is creepily similar to how the victim in the same murder case met her demise. Yet Kit is the only one who worries the attacks are connected—even after the subsequent death of someone with a connection to murderer and victim.

And why is Kit picking up strange vibes from Brett, her long-term beau? Is he going to propose?

THE FOURTH VOTE is the fourth book in the Canton County Chronicles Mystery Series.
