Okay, I am not a sports fan, and I am so sick of politicians and their antics (both parties) that I was hesitant to get the book. But then, I went down to the reviews and thought...Wow!!! 11 were 5 star and 6 were 4 star reviews! Something has to be right here. So, I got the book. I started this last night and finished it today. Fantastic storyline. Great PI character!The story is well told and, although involved, you can follow it very easily. One thing I really like about this story is how Burnside learns that the victim, a friend of his, was not the person he seemed to be. How many times has this happened in real life! This brings such a reality to the storyline.Burnside brings real life to the actual role of the PI. He is human, has a bit of dry humor which I like. The author grows Burnside's personality from start of the novel to the finish. The other characters are also well written and you get to know them like they live in the same town as you do. While I do like all of the characters and how they are written, I have to admit Burnside has become my new favorite over all detectives I have ever read.I recommend this book for ages 16 and up and I know you will all love it.
