In this novel, this particular call has Jack investigating the relatives of a dead philanthropist. The philanthropist was murdered, and his fortune won’t go to those relatives. But perhaps they didn’t know…, or perhaps they hope…
It’s not that the plot is complex, though it takes Jack Starkey far from his present comfort zone. And it’s not that the threat is overly ominous. But the novel’s a true page-turner because of its voice. Jack Starkey’s narration meanders convincingly, offering social commentary and humorous asides, with an amusingly modern tone. He uses his “cell phone to connect with my sleuthing partner Google.” He eats donuts with an old friend who knows where to keep a secret stash. And he asks all the right questions, pondering the answers, and delving through false leads. “Sometimes you eat the bear and sometimes the bear eats you,” just now and then.
