Dick Hardesty, rested and feeling good from his vacation in New York,
is back in an all new fun adventure. When Dick and Jonathon arrive home,
they find that they have a new neighbor, Carlene, a single mom and her
young son, Kelly. Meeting them spurred Jonathon to continue voicing
his desire to have a child, even though he knew how difficult it would be.
Dick takes on a new case involving someone embezzling from a car
dealership and Carlene asks him to see if he can find out who is
stalking her so when Jonathon wants to keep his 4-year-old nephew for
10 days, Dick just isn't sure that he can handle much more, but decides
that it might be a good idea to let Jonathon find out how hard parenting
can be so he agrees. But then their world gets really complicated when
Carlene is killed by a hit and run driver and one of the owners of the
day care center where Kelly goes hires Dick to find out who killed
Carlene because she doesn't believe it was an accident. The more Dick
digs around in Carlene's life, the more he becomes convinced that it
was murder, especially when everyone tries to discourage him from snooping,
especially the person who cuts his brake lines on his car.
Dick is back in fine form in an adventure that will not only test his
skills as a detective but try his patience as a parent and a supportive
partner after tragedy strikes Jonathon's family. For a man who never
planned on really settling down, having to adjust to parenthood is as
hard as any case he ever tried to solve. Grey has cooked up a
wonderful adventure for Dick, spiced with just enough romance and danger
to keep
you eagerly turning the pages to see what happens next.
