This was a really bad book that is full of cliches and the story did not surprise me at all. I knew the outcome way before I got to the end.

I had completely forgotten I had this story on my kindle and the other day, as I was thumbing through, I decided to just read it.

I think I got it for free but I'd like to think I would've paid for it if I'd had the chance.

The story is very film noir, with the narrator really taking you for a good trip. The main story focuses on an art pprodigy's kidnapping/disappearance, but there's so many different storie that it's easily to be captivated and entertained.

I really enjoyed this novel.

Moe Praeger is back after seven years. His wife, Katy, is dead, murdered in front of him and his daughter, Sarah, has not spoken to him since. All the secrets, through all the years, finally caught up with him. But Sarah calls him one day and needs Moe to return to his P.I. days. Her friend, Candy, has a daughter, Sashi, who is missing. Sashi is an artistic genius and has been since the age of four. Sashi has supported her parents and they have become used to her art bringing in the cash. Moe quickly discovers there are several people who would love to see Sashi disappear off the face of the earth, including her extremely wealth patrons, who know a dead artist is worth more than a live artist. Moe knows secrets can kill, so he is determined to uncover the facts and find Sashi to bring Sarah back to him. What he uncovers is more sadness. This book is filled with elegant and graceful writing with passages that will stop you in your tracks to re-read them. Another fine entry in the Moe Praeger series; long may Reed Farrel Coleman write them.
