The Hook Slips

by Christopher Bevard

Ethan March is a hard-drinking, record-collecting private investigator who spends most of his days tracking down cheating spouses and most of his nights in a haze of sex and booze, haunted by thoughts of his missing sister Samantha. And when he's hired by Elizabeth Reminger to prove her husband’s infidelity, Ethan assumes it’ll be just another case. But in the wake of a terrifying murder, Ethan digs deep enough to uncover some revelations about the Reminger family and the surprising connections they have to his own past. With help from a teenaged prostitute named Rachel whose damning information on the Reminger family may put her in the crosshairs, Ethan discovers that nothing in this case is what it seems, and as the killer closes in to tie up loose ends, Ethan is drawn into a world of sleaze, torture, and savagery in his attempt to find justice, even if it means losing those closest to him.
