Chariot Canyon: A Rent Beacham Mystery

When investigative journalist Rent Beacham looks into reports of EBT fraud, he has no clue his investigation not only will take him into a remote, semi-lawless area of San Diego County, but that a twist of fate will give his probe a more personal—and deadly—nature than he ever imagined. As Rent digs deeper, he suspects a sinister criminal enterprise lies behind the fraudulent activity. When horseback riders discover human remains at an abandoned gold mine in historic Chariot Canyon, a murder investigation increases the complexity—and danger—of Rent's attempt to uncover the truth. While this story is fiction, the fraud at the heart of this story is not. Join journalist Rent Beacham as his deep dive into welfare fraud drags him into the dark depths of Chariot Canyon.
