Deemed Accidental is book 4 in Chris Culver’s Homer Watson police procedural featuring the former homicide detective who has now been demoted to being an office clerk, who hates his job and can’t wait to get back into saddle, i.e. solving crimes, which is what he knows to do best.
To the families lining up for model-home tours, Wyndham Meadows is everything they’ve worked for: open-concept kitchens, bright living rooms, and cul-de-sacs where their kids can ride bikes in safety. To the men who build it, the subdivision is something else entirely—a hundred-million-dollar machine that can’t afford to stop, even when the work isn’t right.
When a county building inspector is found dead inside a home under construction, the truth about Wyndham Meadows begins to surface. Behind the drywall and fresh paint are shortcuts, payoffs, and a development held together by profit and silence. It’s an illusion some very powerful people are desperate to protect.
Lieutenant Homer Watson makes coffee more often than he solves murders these days. But when he’s sent to Wyndham Meadows, he finds himself pulled into a case bigger than a single death—and far more dangerous. As Homer follows the money through contractors, inspectors, and county offices, the political pressure comes fast and from all sides. Close the case. Call it an accident. Move on.
But Wyndham Meadows wasn’t built to withstand scrutiny. And as Homer pushes deeper, he’s forced to decide how much of his career—and how much of himself—he’s willing to burn to expose what’s hidden inside its walls, before the subdivision claims another life.
