Not many authors can strike the balance between a gritty tale of suspense with sensitive and interesting character development. Brandt Dodson has succeeded in both!
Colton Parker has become a private investigator after losing his job with the FBI in controversial circumstances. Recently widowed and attempting, with little success, to reconnect with his troubled teenage daughter, he struggles with his own sense of loss and guilt.
This sequel to Original Sin delves more deeply into the struggles of this flawed and thoroughly likeable man. As he deals with his personal issues, Colton must also solve the mystery of the disappearance of Claudia Cheek, wife of his client, Lester, a man with wealth but few friends and many more enemies. Hostile police officers, reluctant witnesses and a paid assassin make for a great read and leave you highly anticipating the third book in this great series. "
