About this ebook
Boston, 1978.
Private investigator Jake Horn has spent years learning to live with ghosts—his wife’s murder, his uncle’s failing PI agency, and the daughter he’s raised alone.
These days, he’s desperate enough to take almost any job.
Except one.
When his ex-fiancée walks into his South Boston office asking him to prove her husband has been cheating, Jake knows better than to get involved.
But then the husband turns up dead.
And the woman Jake has tried hard to forget disappears.
Now the police are circling, and Jake’s past is catching up with him. If he can’t find her—and the truth—fast, he won’t just lose his freedom.
This time, he'll lose the only thing in his life that still matters.
