The Boy Who Was Buried This Morning by Joseph Hansen
5.0
Dave has finally retired, but he is not happy. The death of his friend Max Romano has hit him hard and I think that's the real reason why Cecil asked him to take a look at this case, not for any real concern about the victim. Vaughn Thomas, shot at a paintball game in what has been determined to be an accident, was a horrid person. He was a profoundly anti-semit and racist person, whose biggest dream was to become a soldier of fortune so he could shoot black people. Cecil couldn't be really hurt for his death.
The case, of course, ends being a lot more than a simple accident and through lots of twist and turns and more murders, Dave will uncover plenty of awful things that will put him in grave danger... again!
The theme of ageing, of losing friends and leaving behind a bit of himself with each of those loses is more present than ever. But I liked the ending a lot.
Just one book left, argh!
