He is also a part time chef, but anyone who knows his background recognizes that his true talent lies in the field of investigation. Now he is once again up to his neck in mayhem and murder when he innocently witnesses the drive-by shooting of Houston's most famous detective, C.J. McDaniels. Neil rushes the wounded investigator to the hospital, saving his life, and becoming media's darling hero. The hitmen do not see Neil has a hero, but as an eyewitness that requires elimination.
Several attempts fail.
In spite of that and his attraction to the daughter of C.J., Neil is unable to walk away from the case because his curiosity will not allow him to quit without finding answers. He needs to know who is behind the assassination attempt and needs to be there when the villains are identified and captured. Neil needs to remember that curiosity killed the cat and he has used up several of his nine lives in his latest pursuit. For a self-proclaimed poet, Neil likes to be in the center of the action. Tim Hemlin has penned another outstanding whodunit filled with plenty of action, red herrings, and suitable suspects to satisfy even the harshest of critics.
