I'm a big fan of this author and his Joe Pickett Series. I like his stand alone books also, and this one has Kyle, a Special Needs boy, witnessing a car deliberately forcing another car into a ravine killing the driver. Kyle finds a bag of cash and drugs and removes them from the scene and takes them home.

I really felt Kyle's pain, and was so angry when his mom made him ride his bike on a paper route in minus zero degree weather and without warm enough clothing and boots. He is the reason I kept reading this book.

It's a good story with lots happening, but you really should read the previous book, The Highway so you know the history of Cassie, the new Special Detective who just took over the new position. Needless to say, she has a lot on her plate, but thankfully, she becomes Kyle's savior.

Good book.
