Rating: 5 out of 5
Date: 05 7, 2014
Josh Lanyon continues his great tradition in the genre with this book. It is truly a good story, with great characters and setting.Griffin Hadley is a crime reporter on a small Wisconsin newspaper. When he is contacted by Jarrett Arlington to write a book about the sensational kidnapping of his grandson Brian some twenty years earlier, he makes his way to New York to meet with the family. Dysfunctional wealthy and eccentric doesn't begin to cover it.Pierce Mathers is the family attorney. He has taken the job of keeping family matters confidential as an inheritance from his retired boss. Ever since Brian went missing at age four, his grandfather has spent a fortune trying to find him. His alleged kidnapper is in prison, locked up in Sing Sing for the past twenty years. But he still denies the crime, although the ransom money was found buried beneath his floor.When Griff first meets Pierce Mathers, there is and immediate dislike, and a certain attraction. As this story evolves, it becomes more than attraction. Throw in some family secrets, a few warnings to stop his attempt at writing Brian's story, a couple of close calls with death, and you have everything that makes this a damn good novel.Backstabbing family members complicate Griff's work, but with a fascinating and surprising twist, he finds something that makes him question his entire life.Josh Lanyon is in fine form here, with everything that makes his books so enjoyable. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
