Vince Tanzi returns to his native Vermont to check in with the surgeon who once removed a bullet from his head. She tells him that he’s fine now, but he knows otherwise. He’s not the hard-charging P.I. that he used to be, and he’s not even sure that he should be taking on new cases. Maybe he should collect his pension, look after his toddler son, and enjoy a quiet life in his adopted state of Florida.But trouble has a way of finding Tanzi. A college girl has disappeared—the granddaughter of his mother’s best friend—and Vince offers to help find her. His pursuit takes him through quaint Vermont villages, mountain lookouts, a campus rocked by a brutal murder, and a religious retreat gone awry. And then, more people start dying…The fourth adventure in the Tanzi series finds Vince diminished, but as tenacious as ever. Slow and steady wins the race—unless it’s a race to his own grave.
C.I. Dennis is the author of the Vince Tanzi series. He also writes under the pen name Zig Davidson.
Dennis has roots in Vermont and Florida, as does his flawed-but-likable protagonist Vince Tanzi, a retired deputy and now private investigator. Try the Tanzi series if you like page-turners with wit, action, romance, and vivid characters who lead complicated and unpredictable lives.
This is one of the best series I have read. Vince Tanzi's character is irresistible! There is enough humor and suspense to keep you reading until the end. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who loves to read. I can't wait for the next book.
This book keeps you turning pages just like the TV series 24 Hours. Vince is out maneuvered at every turn, but still finds religion, sex, drugs and money in a small college town.
All four books. Read in order to fully enjoy. I did and they were a pleasure especially if you're an original Floridian and it was nice to go home again even for a short time.
Vince is a great character. Can’t wait for #5 to see how he handles Rose. Also, waiting to see how Roberto develops further. Thank you, Mr. Dennis for a delightful series. I am a Florida native and look for books set in the state.
Enjoyed this whole series. Started out of order; recommend you read in order. Vince is a mix of bull headed detective and gentle soul. I like the author's languaging.
They just keep getting better. Good story with a lot of twists and turns. Just hope Vince gets a little smarter about women. Looking forward to the next adventure.
I enjoyed the book for its pure entertainment value. It was a pleasure to read and kept me guessing without being convoluted.
The characters were interesting and I liked the way they all became intertwined yet remained desperate unto themselves. Hope he writes another in this series.
I loved the leading character and others that he encountered a terrific read , I read the first three books and now I'm starting on the fourth and look forward to future books by this author
DeMille and John Corey move over, C.I. Dennis and Vince Tanzi are in town! Excellent story plots and twists. Once you start reading you can't put it down.
My new favorite character. Vince Tanzi. A smart, sassy private investigator. Each new book gets better and better. Funny and riveting.
