[Read by Nick Sullivan] This first-class PI novel is a fast-paced, well-written thrill ride with vividly evoked characters and a plot that will keep listeners' attention from the start. Nashville private investigator Jared McKean has a son with Down syndrome, a best friend with AIDS, an ex-wife he can't seem to fall out of love with, and 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 with a bullet from his gun. To make matters worse, his teenage nephew comes out of the closet and runs away to join a dangerous fringe of the goth subculture. Now Jared must find a way to clear his name, hold his family together, and solve a case that could cost him his life.
