Theo Tate is a sad man. Once a police officer, he resigned when his young daughter was killed and his wife became permanently catatonic after a drunk driver hit them. Now a Private Investigator, he does just enough business to keep a roof over his head.
When one of his clients thinks her father was murdered, Theo pushes for an exhumation. What they find there pushes everything in a different direction .. one that leads to a serial killer.
This is the first book I've read by Paul Cleave .. it won't be the last. The more I read, the more I was hooked. Theo carries a lot of guilt on his shoulders. Theo is a damaged man, but at heart he's a good man. There are choices he's made and continues to make that weigh heavily on him. He's done things he's not proud of, but he also has no regrets. He only hopes he can find the killer before the police come looking for him.
It's non-stop anticipation from the very beginning ... and the ending was nothing I had considered. I like being surprised at the who-dun-it.
Told in first person, I highly recommend this one to anyone who likes a good mystery.
