S.U.G.A.R.: How Sibling Rivalry Led to Murder!

S.U.G.A.R. is about the murder of quintuplets known as Sharon, Ursula, Gertrude, Annie, and Ruth. Their sibling rivalry and concealment of a shared dark secret come back to haunt them later. Now, in their professional careers. Sharon is a sexy and vivacious boutique owner who has affairs with willing men. Ursula, the bright and talented linguistic military officer assigned to a four-star general staff; Gertrude, the progressive activist and high school teacher; Annie, the brilliant trial lawyer who works in a powerful firm; and Ruth, a prison warden of a male institution that takes no stuff and is feared and respected by everyone in the prison.

Detective Bowers is a man who wants to have a serious relationship with a soul mate but keeps coming up short. He then meets an attractive woman downtown in an office building and feels she is the one. As they court, his thoughts of true love are a real possibility. Their relationship is suddenly cut short, as his dream girl has to leave and tend to her aging grandmother out of the country, thus ending their relationship.

Now free to focus on his job, Bowers and his partner Smiths set out to solve a cold case murder years ago that links their current case of the sisters who are currently being murdered decades later. The killer is very cunning and elusive and sets challenges for the police to such a level that Detective Bowers is almost killed for meddling in areas and accusing potential suspects who are so powerful that his superiors are afraid of them. But that does not deter Bowers from his solemn duty to catch the killer and solve the mystery of the sisters.

Bowers's life is spared on two occasions for reasons he will discover later in the most unlikely small restaurant in France. It is a classic who-done-it cast in the City of Baltimore, Maryland. Will Bowers get his answers? Will he catch the killer? See how this mystery ends in this action mystery-burning page-turner written by Lloyd J. Wheatley.
