Racing the Devil

Nashville private investigator Jared McKean has a weakness for women in jeopardy-until one frames him for murder. His DNA and fingerprints are found at the murder scene. His voice is on the victim's answering machine, and the victim was killed by a bullet from his gun. The situation is further complicated by an ex-wife he can't seem to fall out of love with, a son with Down syndrome, a best friend with AIDS, and a teenaged nephew who comes out of the closet and runs away to join a dangerous fringe of the Goth subculture. As Jared tries to clear his name and hold his family together, he is forced to confront the possibility that the killer may be someone close to him, someone he trusts. This time, an unsolved case could cost him his life.
