Free Fall by Robert Fisher is a suspenseful, no-nonsense, in-your-face type of book. Its main character is a PI named Eli Katz. He reminded me of a combination of Sergeant Joe Friday, very business-like and only concerned with the facts, and Fletch, with his unique comedy and dry sense of humor.The book grabbed my interest right from the start, and although there was a lull in the middle, it finished with a bang. When Mary Cobb calls him wanting him to find her missing husband, he wasn't interested. That was until the name, Detective Quinn comes up. This peaks his interest. But when Mary drops the name of Daniel Stubbs, he is ready to help.Not one to be a spoiler, the rest of the book chronicles his looking for Roy Cobb and the story around his disappearance. When something bad happens to Mary and him, many other men would stop the search. But after a year off he regains his vigor and continues with the mystery.The ending took me by surprise. This one was well worth the cost of admission.
