With his partner Alex by his side, it doesn’t take them long to find some answers and a handful of suspects with something to gain with Bonnie gone…
But just when it starts to look easy, things take a turn in the wrong direction. Henry struggles with an unexpected threat, and it puts the investigation in jeopardy. Alex does all she can to protect him.
But Henry’s stubborn as a mule. He refuses to let his own dire circumstances get in the way of finding the truth. Even if it means his own life will be in danger...
Gregory Payette writes crime fiction and mysteries, and is the author of the Henry Walsh Private Investigator Series.
He was born in chilly-but-beautiful Rhode Island, but today lives in Charlotte, North Carolina with his wife, kids, and Jake, his Jack Russel Terrier mix.
His Henry Walsh novels are based in Jacksonville and Fernandina Beach, Florida…and there’s a good chance one day you’ll find him retired down there, soaking in the warmth of the sunshine state.
Gregory has held quite a few jobs and careers throughout his life. He’s been a bartender, a DJ, a deck builder, a knife salesman, an ice cream scooper, a pizza man, a web and graphic designer, a custom closet builder, a handyman, a car stereo salesman…
But he spent a good part of his adult life working as a copywriter, with a fair amount of that time spent working in the fundraising world, raising money for nonprofits.
As an author, his first two books were nonfiction. But when he realized he could spend his days telling lies and making up stories people could read and enjoy…he switched to writing fiction.
He writes crime stories and mysteries that are fun to read and keep the pages turning.
