BROTHERS AND BONES leaps right into the action and never lets up.  Charlie Beckham is a crack Federal Prosecutor whose life gets turned upside down when a homeless man utters two words to him in passing.Beckham's older brother Jake disappeared 13 years ago and Charlie has never moved on.  Convinced that Bonz, the homeless mentally ill man, knows something about what happened to Jake, Charlie drops everything--including the high-profile mob case he's working--and goes in search of the truth.  Is Charlie out of his mind or is he on to something?BROTHERS AND BONES offers wall-to-wall suspense and is easy to recommend.  However, there are times when the reader may tire of Charlie and want to kick him the pants.  While the denouement is thrilling, the surprising flip a major character takes is a little hard to swallow.I definitely will be looking to read more of James Hankins.
