Lethal Favor

Delorean Harper, an amateur detective, opens a Pandora's box of trouble when he agrees to investigate the killing of an old girlfriend. The police are calling her brutal death an unfortunate accident but his instincts tell him otherwise, and a child's life hangs in the balance. He's on treacherous ground as he begins to navigate an unfamiliar landscape: hostile police, a young woman nearly catatonic with grief, a suspicious guardian, and the growing awareness that he's on a collision course with someone whose capacity for violence equals his own. Lethal Favor is a hard-to-put-down story about guilt and obsession, survival and revenge, and the razor-thin margins of safety that separate the living from the dead.
