_Boston, 1986._ Spring in Boston is always a miserable affair, and Andy Roark's latest case offers nothing to raise his spirits. The ex-military operative turned private investigator has been hired by a bank president to investigate three of his staff. One of them has embezzled over two million dollars - and Brock wants Roark to find out who's living above their means.

Sounds exciting enough, but after two weeks' tedious surveillance uncovers a grand total of nothing, Roark gives it up as a bad job. Brock needs a forensic accountant on the case, not a PI.

But several weeks later, the bank is held up, and one of Brock's suspects is murdered by the robber. Is there a connection? Roark can't see how, but he's never been a fan of coincidence.

With the case niggling at him, he relaunches an investigation on his own dime. Soon he's rubbing shoulders with some very shady characters - and trying his best not just to solve the case, but also to come out of it alive.

**Written by a US Army veteran and New England police officer, the Andy Roark mystery series will appeal to fans of classic private detective novels, packed with wry humor, unexpected twists and explosive scenes.**
