Private detective Bill Smith is hurtled headlong into the most provocative -- and personal -- case of his career when he receives a chilling late night telephone call from the NYPD, who are holding his fifteen-year-old nephew Gary. But before he can find out what's going on, Gary escapes Bill's custody and disappears into the dark and unfamiliar streets...
Bill and his partner, Lydia Chin, try to find the missing teen and uncover what it is that has led him so far from home. Their search takes them to Gary's family in a small town in New Jersey, where they discover that one of Gary's classmates was murdered. Bill and Lydia delve into the crime-only to find it eerily similar to a decades-old murder-suicide...
Now, with his nephew's future -- and perhaps his very life-at stake, Bill must unravel a long-buried crime and confront the darkness of his own past...
Private detective Bill Smith's nephew was apprehended by the NYPD but escapes custody. The search proceeds to New Jersy where one his nephew's classmates was murdered-a murder similar to an old murder-suicide. This was my daughter's book and she said she just couldn't finish it.
This is a great series, and the book listed here is no exception. Told from Bill Smith's perspective and we get a glimpse into his past. Well written (as usual) and a story that has a couple of good twists and turns.
