Description

Private investigator Lincoln Perry was once a rising star in the police force. But his career as a cop came to an abrupt halt when he assaulted prominent attorney Alex Jefferson in retribution for Jefferson's affair with Perry's fiancee, Karen. Now Jefferson is dead, the victim of a vicious murder. Convinced Perry has no connection with her husband's killing, Karen asks him to find Jefferson's estranged son, Matthew, partial beneficiary of his father's fortune. Though he knows he shouldn't, Perry accepts the case. It should be simple enough, a routine 'locate', and there's plenty of money for the work. The encounter with the son should be simple too, a brief exchange of information and maybe an empty condolence before Perry heads home in his truck. Instead, Perry finds himself loaded into a police car headed for jail while Jefferson's son is zipped into a body bag. And that's only the beginning of his troubles...
