About this ebook

Doug Samuels is a highly respected but emotionally challenged ex-cop turned private investigator, who is reeling from a heartbreakingly painful loss. Working out of a small office in the St. Louis neighbourhood called Central West End, and with the assistance of his best friend’s wife, he receives little warning of his destiny.

Wittingly chosen for the task, Doug is hired by the spouse of a successful investment banker. The alarmingly sexy blond suspects the man she married of cheating and asks Doug to verify her suspicions. His pretty client entices and manipulates Doug’s vulnerabilities as a second case, involving an ex-pimp turned NFL running back, lures Doug back and forth across the country, forcing him to dodge and deflect warranted scrutiny from the FBI.

Accepting each case with the best of intentions, Doug’s professional ethics, and high moral standards are continuously challenged as he’s pulled deeper and deeper into a world of deception, lies, sex, and murder. Doug’s good nature paired with his inability to say no changes his life forever.
