5.0

Received this book on the Goodreads Giveaways and loved it. Have read all the books in the series and this latest one is great. Leo Waterman and his pal Gabe have gone into hiding in Ocean Beach, California after thwarting the plans of a white supremacist group in Conway, Washington. They have taken on assumed names and are living quiet lives until Leo discovers the dead body of a young boy. He decides to help and that leads him and Gab into lots of trouble.
The white supremacists are still looking for them and send a couple of people after them when they get some clues to their hiding place. Leo gets caught up in the apprehension of a bum who takes off and he has to track him down which leads him thru the homeless camps in the area. He befriends the female detective on the case and comes clean to her about being in hiding. She ends up on leave and helps him out. As he tries to find out more about what is going on with the dead boy it leads him into some very dangerous waters. There are questions about what is going on with a rich old lady and the trust she runs. No one has seen her in awhile and the people running things are very mysterious and seem a bit shady. Gabe and Leo finds themselves in a dire situation at one point and nearly die which only angers them and makes them want to get to the bottom of things even more.
Great writing nd a great story as usual by G. M. Ford.
