About this ebook

Jimmy McSwain is enjoying a relaxing holiday at his grandmother's cottage, but it turns out to be a set-up. Hester Bryne has a favor to ask: to meet with her old friends, Franklin and Carolyn Hardy, who wish to hire the young private-eye-in-training to find their son. Seems he's been gone for forty years.

Jimmy, taken with the idea of reuniting a father with his son, wants to take the case. But he must get the all clear from his new boss, Finn, the ex-cop who has taken Jimmy under his wing. A visit to Finn's home proves to be yet another set-up, one that takes an unexpected twist in the name of a newcomer to the city, Aiden Garvey.

As Jimmy immerses himself in the case of the missing son, he keeps getting distracted by the newfound presence of a man who makes his heart skip a beat. Juggling the promise of a new relationship with the complexities presented by this puzzling case, Jimmy realizes he's getting too close to one of them, and it could end with more broken hearts than lives.

Can a remembrance of his father be both his motivation and the cause for the destruction lying in wait?
