Lawrence DeMaria has once again taken us on the Jake Scarne pleasure cruise of humor, suspense, murder and mayhem. It's a combination I have come to expect from DeMarias books and as usual he doesn't disappoint. This story opens up with a particularly messy murder of a CEO who happens to be married to the women who left Jake at the altar. Needless to say, that in itself makes for an interesting story. The murder is staged as a murder/suicide so perfectly that the local authorities believe it to be an open and shut case. The widow however, believes her husband was murdered and requests Jake Scarnes help to prove it.  The reunion between Jake and "the one that got away" adds to the stress that Scarne is under. He doesn't believe there is anything suspicious about the case but feels he must go through the motions for his old love.  That theory starts to change as he uncovers international involvement and a scientist that doesn't have the purest of intentions.This is a story that you won't be able to put down. I should also warn you, after you've finished the book you will be up at night thinking about it!
