The Last Ride

Beschreibung

It's Henry Walsh's first big case as a licensed private investigator. If he's not careful...it could be his last. One Sunday morning, John Thompson went out for a ride on his bike and never made it home. But was it really just an accident? That's the question the victim's ex-wife has for the Sheriff's Office. But when they refuse to investigate further, she turns to Henry to find the truth. He's reluctant to take the case at first. The truth is, the evidence is thin. But with the ink barely dry on his private investigator's license, he's willing to take his chances. And he could certainly use the work. But as it turns out, solving crimes isn't as easy as he'd hoped. That's why he once again turns to Alex Jepson for help. She's a tough-as-nails ex-cop with a firm grip on both reality...and Henry's heart. Questions about the victim's past soon begin to rise to the surface. With his shady business dealings, an ex-wife, a dead wife, and the young widow he left behind...the list of suspects starts to grow. When Henry and Alex dive deeper into the investigation, it becomes dangerously clear someone is out to stop them. And as they find themselves getting closer to the truth, the deadlier it becomes...

Autor

Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
