Riveting follow-up to William Lashner’s first novel, Hostile Witness.
Victor Carl is back, and this time he just wants to get his money and get out alive. Hired to wrap up the affairs of a suicidal heiress, Jacqueline Shaw, Carl soon discovers it wasn’t suicide at all, but murder. Thrown into a web of deceit and danger by his discovery, Carl races against time to untangle the truth, a journey that will carry him from Philadelphia to the jungles of Belize and back again. The solution to the murder, Carl realizes, lies in unravelling the true story of Shaw’s family, the Reddmans, a story that grows more and more gothic as he moves backwards along the family tree until, in a shocking plot twist, Victor finds the answer to Shaw’s murder in a note written decades ago.
Add to the mix a crime war that Carl stumbles into the middle of, and a wildly eccentric cast of supporting characters, and you have the makings of a big success.
