Indirect Objects: A Joe Lehrer Mystery
Indirect Objects is a clever suburban mystery/thriller. Joe Lehrer dispenses vigilante justice with the ethical center of Harlan Coben’s PI, Myron Bolitar. Lexan Warner’s nightmare-like childhood reminds readers of an amateur sleuth version of the heroine in Melinda Leigh’s Cross Her Heart. Lehrer and Warner’s lives appear as perfect as suburban Stradford where they teach. He is hailed a hero for bringing justice to a child abuse conspiracy cover-up. She has finally found security in a man who loves her. But revenge and the violent opioid crisis overwhelm the community and force them to question who they are, and who they are together. Corrupt local politicians believe Joe is neither a vigilante hero nor the Avenging Angel. As he struggles to live with his blackmail power, they force him to struggle for his very life. Lexan’s battle is with the drug cartel and within herself; while saving her students, she must decide whether love is worth revealing the dark secrets of her past.

About the author
David Allen Edmonds
5 books23 followersI've been a teacher all my life, so I guess it's natural that I write about teachers. Now that I think about it, it's natural for me to write because both of my parents were writers.
My first efforts were short stories about the goings-on inside the faculty lounge of a high school. They were easy to write since I spent a lot of my time there. They are fiction, but clearly based on my experiences. Several of these "Faculty Lounge Stories" are archived on my website,

Personal Pronouns started with the same setting I used in the short stories, but morphed into something else as I wrote it. The length of the novel allowed me to flesh out the characters and hopefully give them some depth. The plot begins in school but is not limited to it. That gave me the chance to extend my themes into the broader community. Personal Pronouns is linked to my website and available at www.amazon.com/author/davidallenedmonds
