John Francis Cuddy #10
Rescue
When ten-year-old Eddie Haldon's sister dies, John Cuddy promises to protect the boy, until young Eddie suddenly disappears, forcing John to begin what may be a wild goose chase through a world of greed and madness.
When he sees the Dodge by the side of the road, two kids staring helplessly at its flat tire, John Cuddy has to stop. The boy's entreaty triggers a long-buried memory from Vietnam, and Cuddy makes him a promise. Less than 24 hours later, the boy is missing and his companion is dead, and Cuddy is off to fulfill his pledge to a young boy.

Even though this felt dated to me I liked it. "John Cuddy" was someone who seemed real to me. I will look for other book by Healy.
