Cowboy Blues
From the back of the book:
Andy Jones is missing.
That's what the guy in the cowboy hat told me after he made his way to my office.
It didn't take long to get the situation figured out. Andy Jones and Tyler Monroe had known each other for fifteen years, ever since Andy was a teenaged runaway looking for a place to call home. Obviously, they had become lovers -- even if Tyler wasn't about to use that term. And, while Tyler seemed like a pretty good catch, it was clear to me that nothing complicated had happened to Andy Jones. It was simple. After fifteen years, Andy had just decided to look for fresher pastures somewhere else.
Or so I thought at first. Then that theory got shot to hell, in a pretty literal way. And it was my job to find out just what really did happen to Andy Jones. Before I was done, I found myself wishing more than once that the case was as simple as it had seemed at first.

What a pleasant surprise this was! I'd heard of this book in a Lindsay Ellis/Princess Weekes video because it was one of the first books derivated from a fanfiction. In this case, it was based on the tv show "Starsky and Hutch" which I'd never heard before. Now after reading the book and digging out some information I think the book is quite different from the show and even the original fanfic.
Anyway, this was such a good read! I loved White's* style of writing, and there were some really clever lines. Also, the chapters were very shorts! Maximum 4 pages, something I really like in books because it makes me want to read more. The story, even though a time predictable, was still very intriguing.
The only thing, (That I didn't like...?) is that it was also a really sad story. Still, I'm really happy I bought it and I wish there were more Jake Lieberman stories.
I think I'm going to check out other White's books!
