This was one good read.Alex Rourke is an ex FBI agent. He and another ex agent Robin Garrett are now PI's. They also conduct seminars for law enforcment in Boston.Robin Garrett is a good friend to Rourke as well as his boss. Garrett had been an FBI field agent and Rourke had been a specialist in the Bureau's NCAV violent crimes division. Rourke has loads of baggage. A fact that doesn't deter Garrett from being his friend and boss.Their PI outfit, Robin Garrett Associates, are investigators, process servers, business security and criminal consultants. Missing person is something of a stock in trade.Colleen Webb is a client. She's looking for her missing son. A son who was last heard from several months ago. According to Webb her son contacts her frequently so she's sure something isn't right. The last tiime he contacted her he was in Burlington, Vt.Rourke has a girlfriend, Gemma Larson by name. She's a medical examiner based in Newport, Vermont. Rourke is based in Boston and they have a long distance love affair going on. Rourke loves Gemma and has been thinking of the M word.So begins one pretty damned good read.Rourke heads to Vt to look into the Webb case. Gemma is shot to death in her car while driving to meet Rourke.This one is full of murder, crooked cops, missing persons, the heroin trade and Rourke doing his best to figure it all out while dealing with the death of Gemma.Just a great read. To bad Alex didn't get em all. Five Stars and then some.
