It started as a simple case . . . then the bodies started piling up.

Elizabeth Barlow hires private investigator Drew Patrick to gather evidence of her husband's affair. But the truth is even more devastating. Nevin Barlow is entangled with some of Boston's most dangerous figures, and Drew's investigation leads deep into a shadowy world of money-laundering and murder. 

When an informant is run down in the streets of Boston, Drew realizes just how far Nevin Barlow and his associates will go to keep their secrets from coming to light. But in a world of lies and deception, nothing stays secret forever. A surprise twist will either help Drew prove his case or get him killed.

Ratings and reviews

I absolutely love the Drew Pstrick.novels. All of these books have action, drama, suspense and romance. They are reminiscent of Robert B. Parker's Spencer novels. I like Drew Patrick, the lead character, who is an ace investigator. I start reading and can't put the book down until I've finished it. I found the same enjoyment with every one of the Drew Patrick novels. The other characters in the novels are just as impressive I CAN'T wait for the next book to be released. Thank you so much for an enjoyable action packed investigation by a P I who excels at his position. I love this guy.

Jason writes good clean action packed books. I like the characters and the witty remarks that aren't condescending or insulting. Enough twists and turns to make it interesting and unpredictable. It's nice to read about law enforcement and private investigators working together. Good job Jason

This is an awesome book with fabulous characters, a great story that is very well-written and compelling. The story certainly had me biting my nails and on the edge of my seat. I did not read book 1 or 2. May need to catch up but it did not affect how great this book is. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
