A Florida process server trying to pick up the pieces of his life looks into a hit-and-run mystery in this âcompellingâ crime novel by the Edgar Award winner (Kirkus Reviews).
Lew Fonesca is a man who does things for people. He makes small problems go away and tries to keep the larger ones from landing his clients in jail. He finds deadbeats and errant spouses, and generally keeps the populace of Sarasota on the up and up.
Now Lew is faced with one case that will try his patience . . . and another that may break his heart.
The first involves an elderly woman who swears sheâs witnessed a murder in her old age home despite the fact that everyone she tells her story toâher family, the hospital staff, and finally the copsâtell her that it just couldnât have happened. The other has Lew trying to identify a hit-and-run driver who killed a fourteen-year-old boy, and dredges up some very painful memories.
As Lew begins to dig deeper into both cases he finds that theyâre tied together in ways he canât hope to untangle. And when someone tries to run him down, he knows heâs getting close to some nasty home truths . . .
