Killing With Kings by Lois Lavrisa

It was supposed to be a friendly poker game. But when one of the players drops dead, Sergeant Jose Rodriguez of the Savannah Police Department suspects someone at the table stacked the deck against the victim. But Jose faces resistance from the department as he pursues a chain of clues and growing number of angry suspects. Making matters worse, a rookie from his elite bomb squad demands to join his unauthorized investigation. Now, Jose must catch the killer and keep the brash young woman safe–all while protecting a secret he’s held since joining the force. The Georgia Coast Cozy Mystery Series combines mystery, suspense, humor, and southern charm. Each book is a standalone novel.
