Noah remembers Marilyn Crier as the stuck-up mother of his high-school girlfriend, Kate. Back then she thought Noah was strictly out of her daughter's league. Now, she's appeared out of the blue, because Kate's missing, and she thinks Noah might be able to find her??for old time's sake. But as the investigation deepens, Noah discovers more about Kate than he ever wanted to. A lifetime away from high school, she's been traveling in some pretty dark circles, and it's going to take pretty sharp moves if Noah wants to make it back out alive.
"Jeff Shelby has rejuvenated the P.I. novel, and not a moment too soon."??J. A. Konrath, Anthony Award nominated author of Bloody Mary… (mer)

It’s hard to find new and innovative story lines - this is one you will enjoy. I love the writing and the banter between the Main characters (Noah Braddock) or within his own mind or with his "Watson" - Carter Hamm). Noah’s Client is talking to him… (Someone he knew as a teen) “Are you living down here”? (Noah) I recognized the condescension in her voice, but ignored it. “Couple of blocks down, on Jamaica." "You were a surfer, weren't you?" "Still am" She nodded taking in my appearance. " I guess you are.".... "She didn't get on the plane?”I asked looking back at Marilyn... (Noah is referring to the missing clients daughter – then asks about the missing daughters husband) What about her husband? I raised my eyebrows. "Ah." "He's a doctor in the bay area," she said. She didn't need to add "and you're not"....."Why would Kate disappear?"...Marilyn said "I don't know"... I asked "Things with Randall are okay?'... She said 'Randall is wonderful."... (Noah) “Not what I asked."... Marilyn said..."Maybe I made a mistake in coming to you, Noah.".... (Noah) I was thinking the same thing. "I’ve been wondering if I should put that on my business cards."... (That particular discussion reminds me of Robert Crais “Elvis Cole” books) Another chapter later in the book.... (Noah) I opened the sliding screen door to my place just before one in the morning, the smell of jalapenos and nacho cheese immediately burning into my nostrils. "Honey, you're home," Carter Hamm said from the sofa amidst a pile of beer cans, plastic wrap, and tortilla chips. (Noah)- "How did you ever convince me to give you a key?" I asked shutting the door behind me. "I didn't, he said, wiggling his enormous frame into a sitting position, "I stole one."..."Ah".... He grinned, looking like a humongous Cheshire cat, "ah.".... another great "placed base" mystery... you get the feel of the beach area in San Diego... the wonderful weather and some dark characters... reminds me of a west coast "Travis Magee"... another "Lucky you" if you have not read em....
