The sixth novel in the multiple Shamus and Edgar Award nominated Bragg series that placed Jack Lynch among the masters of detective fiction. Bragg runs into Jo Sommers, a woman he longed for many years ago…and who is now unhappily married. Hours later, she's accused of murdering her husband. Bragg agrees to help prove that Jo is innocent, discovering a tangled web of blackmail, extortion, and murder, stretching forty years into the past…to a secret…
This is the sixth book in the Peter Bragg series. Peter runs into Jo, a woman that he would have liked to have a relationship with when he was a bartender in Sausalito. Now Jo is married to a prominent psychiatrist who mainly treats military patients dealing with PTSD. Shortly after their reacquaintance, Jo’s husband is murdered, and she is accused. She hires Peter to find out the truth.
The story has a steady pace, and the characters are developed. It is written in the first-person point of view. The book is somewhat dated since it was written before cell phones and other modern technology, but I thoroughly enjoyed that fact. If you like hard-boiled fiction with a witty private investigator, you will enjoy this book too.
