Opis

Danny Phillips, gun in hand, entered the dark shack. In the middle of the room, Danny pulled a hanging light switch. The bulb moved frenetically filling the room with bursts of light and shadow. Danny steadied the light only to see a set of shackles on the wall and dried blood on the floor. "OH GOD no, no, no, what did I do?" Danny fell to his knees, "This is my fault, I should have done more." * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * Everything readers have come to expect from a tightly constructed police procedural is here in a compelling tale of corruption, murder, and redemption. Danny Phillips, an ambitious scoundrel is determined to live the high life, but when his investment company on Wall Street crashes, he is forced to follow in his father's footsteps as a police officer. The last thing this charming entrepreneur wanted to be was a cop, but when his old friend, Angelo Tedeschi, convinces him the city of Beachside is a ripe plum for guys like them, he reluctantly agrees. Thanks to the crooked Captain Hagen and his unexpected bravery in the line of duty, he is promoted to the rank of Detective Specialist in charge of the Missing Persons Bureau. His complex relationship with fellow officer Anna Perez and an encounter with Rudy, a badly scarred young boy, slowly begins to soften his amoral behavior. But he hasn't reached redemption yet and when he ignores a string of missing children cases, he is suspended from duty. Will Danny turn away from his sexual escapades with his posse of blondes? Will he set aside his illegal schemes and find the killer? And what will this reluctant knight do when he is confronted by the ultimate horror? This intelligent and thought-provoking masterpiece of crime fiction will hold you in its grip until the very end. The Reluctant Knight is a series debut novel filled with tension, unforgettable characters, and an intriguing romance. If you are a police procedural series fan who wants realism along with hard-hitting action, and savvy dialogue - it's guaranteed you'll want more from this father/son writing team.
