Publisher's Summary

Jimmy McSwain returns, but the question lingers: Now that he has finally solved the 15-year-old murder of his NYPD cop father, Joseph, who has he become?  

Busy concentrating on family issues, Jimmy hasn't taken a new case in nearly three months, and when a call comes in from Philip Connelly, who wants proof that his wife, Myra, is cheating, Jimmy is torn. Take the case or say no. He rejects it, only to learn a week later that Philip has been found dead in a park on Staten Island. The police believe it was suicide, but Myra - a self-admitted adulteress - is convinced he was murdered. Jimmy agrees to take the case. But it seems his decision to rejoin the world has also affected the other areas of his life: His sister is facing a health crisis, an old friend from his father's past has resurfaced, and his lover, Captain Francis X. Frisano, is working a difficult case in Chelsea where gay men are being attacked. 

If that wasn't enough, Jimmy is on the hunt to bring down his new nemesis, the criminal mastermind Mr. Wu-Tin. A fire at one of his warehouses stirs fear in Jimmy that the man is trying to destroy evidence of his crimes. That's when life throws him a twist, and suddenly Jimmy feels that just as he's hoping to find answers, new mysteries emerge about whether the path he's on leads to a fresh start or a fresh kill.

Satisfying murder-mystery!

Driven NY PI Jimmy McSwain tackles a case where an apparent suicide is anything but and plays to his strength: upsetting the apple cart. The client hires Jimmy to look into the death of her husband: could it be her, the boyfriend, the lover, or even the police? This was a fascinating conspiracy case and it was hugely satisfying not knowing who to trust. I wondered if this series would lose its edge with the resolution of his father’s death in the previous book, but in the usual melancholy style of this series, Jimmy butts heads with fate and comes off with a few wins, a few losses, and a lot of cuts and bruises … some romance aficionados may not be pleased. Audio artiste Joel Leslie voices Asian mobsters, New Yorkers, and Irish accents with his usual skill and flair!
