Book Overview
A new Deets Shanahan investigation Private investigator Howie Cross is beaten to a pulp by a couple of thugs, though he has no idea why. Temporarily out of action, he asks Deets Shanahan to take on his one current case. But Shanahan is in no hurry to get involved. It's straightforward enough, in principle: Hugh Dart wants his wife traced. The only thing is, Dart has just finished a 35-year sentence for murdering her. Dart had had the opportunity to murder Barbara, and the motive: he'd taken out a $100,000 life insurance policy for her just before her death. What's more, he was ? is ? definitely dodgy. But if the investigation is just a wild-goose chase, who called in the thugs?

character-laden mystery charms & teases

Having read all of the Deets Shanahan series, I can comfortably say this series and its unlikely hero just keep getting better! Love has done good things for Deets and he is closer to acknowledging that fact now than ever before. Meanwhile, his cronies help the story move along briskly. Tense, realistic, at times comical (the bar owner is a favorite of Deets and of mine!), the latest in the series is a tribute to the very talented Tierney's hometown (Indianapolis) and the author's highly refined sense of character! Bravo!
