Publisher's summary

PI Jim Bean should walk out that door and let the Vegas bouncer do his worst. That's what an ordinary man would do. But nobody ever accused Jim Bean of being ordinary.

Private Investigator Jim Bean has worked hard to create his new identity in Vegas. He doesn't have a great life, but it's his. When his ex-fiancée, Erica Floyd, walks into one of his investigations looking for her missing sister, the tragic past he wanted to leave behind comes flooding back.

Despite serious reservations, Jim agrees to search for Erica's sister. Clues lead him to a human-trafficking ring and one of Vegas' most influential mobsters. Unless Jim can face the ghosts of his past, the anger of his present, and a new enemy out for his blood, four women will suffer a fate worse than death.

Binged!

This is a great listen if you enjoy crime stories. The subject matter is tough but timely in our current reality.

Life underbelly

The story is very revealing with very sad but real life situations and outcomes. I like the unfolding of the character Jim/Cory.

Engaging Read

Maybe it’s because this was the second book in this series I’ve read I found, about half-way through, that I was really sick of Jim’s internal whining….over and over and over we went about how he’d been such a victim, endured his drinking, his anger. No one likes a whiner, even when there is a reason for it to begin with.

I hope in the third book the author will give readers some relief…because I will read the next in the series. I really like the characters, the plots, the performance, the pacing, the development. Just, please, enough whining!

Great book

Well, written book with an interesting storyline and characters. I do really hope that Jim Bean gets his life together though. I’m getting a little tired of him using scotch as an answer to his problems
