“Entertaining and enjoyable.” Scene Sarasota

Jenny Spencer is missing after a violent encounter on a beach. Her aunt, Susan Blake, knows the 18-year old would never leave her cell phone behind. But Jenny had run before, and the police do not mount a serious effort to find her. Susan asks wisecracking PI Jake Travis to intervene. Susan and Jake spent only one dinner together and both felt an instant attraction. Jake walked away. He was, and is, committed to Kathleen.

As Jake and his partner, Garrett Demarcus, close the circle on finding Jenny, they discover that Kathleen’s past ties to organized crime and Jenny’s life are strangely entwined. They fight a two-front battle to find Jenny and to protect Kathleen.

By protecting Kathleen, will Jake become the type of man that she could never love? Does he have a choice? Robert Lane’s second stand-alone Jake Travis novel delivers a tour de force of suspense, intrigue, and humor, deftly wrapped in Lane’s trademark literary overtones.

“Lane delivers a confident, engaging Florida tale with a cast of intriguing characters. A solid, entertaining mystery.” Kirkus Reviews
