Why would a man with no problems and five million dollars in the bank disappear? If I had that kind of money, I'd be sipping cocktails on a beach, not playing hide-and-seek with a woman who wants answers.
I should have run when Amanda Ghering walked into my detective agency, but when a woman who looks like a femme fatale from a film noir movie asks for help, what's a guy to do? Besides, I needed the money. So I took the job-my first real case: tracking down her husband Peter, who disappeared without a trace three weeks ago. As beautiful and wealthy as she is dark and dangerous, Amanda's convinced he's been murdered. Who could have wanted him dead?
Before long, it's clear there's more to this case than meets the eye. Amanda's story keeps changing, and if the lies, double-crosses, and shadowy threats weren't enough, I was starting to feel like I'd wandered into a bad movie-one where the detective doesn't make it to the final reel.
My first case might just be my last-if I don't crack it before my luck runs out. "I was halfway through the first chapter when I did something I rarely do - I laughed out loud. From that point on, I was hooked." Amazon Review
