Joe Gunther faces painful shadows from his past when a cold case heats up in the 15th police procedural starring the Brattleboro, VT detective. When Klaus Oberfeldt died as a result of the injuries he suffered during the robbery of his store, rookie Joe Gunther--preoccupied by his wife's rapidly failing health--let the primary suspect slip through his fingers and then buried the case for the next 32 years. His failure to act continues to haunt him. When a woman shoots her ex-husband in a domestic dispute, Gunther discovers that the gun used was the same used in Oberfeldt's bludgeoning death, and vows to determine the connection between the two crimes.

Frank Thorpe is set to board a plane at LAX for a much-needed vacation when he sees an obviously poor young boy knocked out of the way and senseless by an arrogant businessman rushing to a waiting Porsche.Frank really needs some R& R. He’s just been fired—over a fatal screw up—from the covert operations“shop” he’s worked at for years. But Douglas Meachum—a hard-charging art dealer—needs to be made to feel something more than entitlement: nothing extreme, just a little wake-up call.Given Frank’s background and his expertise in good guy/bad guy tactics, it’s easy for him to set up a scam involving some embarrassing revelations about a faked Mayan sculpture that Meachum sells to one of his clients. But the client isn’t someone who takes kindly to mistakes. She’s a ruthless social-climbing psychopath who, with her surfer-dude husband (the Thomas Alva Edison of designer pharmaceuticals), runs a huge drug operation. And she’s got an invincible thug duo—Vlad and Arturo—to carry out her notions of payback, which make Frank’s wake-up scheme seem positively genteel. What started out as a good (if slightly underhanded) deed quickly veers out of control. How Frank handles the chaos—and what he himself hears in the wake-up call—is the fuel that drives this full-throttle, terrifically entertaining novel.
