Well done thriller. Loved the cover assumed by our hero as he investigates the death of his estranged father.

4.5 stars. Good story and well written, though hardly realistic. Kept my interest - read in one sitting. Bad guys lose, good guys win. What more can one ask for in a book?

A fun, quick, light read. You know the hero is going to pull this off so hard to say it is too suspensful but there are mysteries to be solved along the way.
His dad died before he could get back. He becomes a janitor in the court house to find out how his Dad's partner got off because the evidence was lost. Along the way he helps out some other folks and brings down the Albanian mobster.

Paul McGrath joined the Army to thumb his nose at his pacifist father. He was recruited into military intelligence and he travels the world helping solve issues before they become too big to handle. He receives a letter from his father that took two years to find him, seeking a reconciliation. McGrath separates from the Army and returns home only to discover his father is dead and has been for a while. The police story is that he died after an argument with his business partner. When a key piece of evidence goes missing, Pardew (the business partner) is acquitted of murder. McGrath goes undercover as a janitor at the courthouse to search for the missing file. Along the way, he meets some other people whose trials did not end well. McGrath ends up partnering up with a buddy from his military intelligence days and they launch a service, helping people who cannot help themselves. Recommended for adrenaline readers.
