Where Fools Dare to Tread

A Monk Buttman Mystery

Beschreibung

"A well-crafted, enjoyable and intriguing mystery that, for better or worse, is a little heavy on the protagonist's breast-level view of the world." -IndieReader No one wants to be a patsy or a fall guy, but somebody's got to do it. A happy nobody, Monk is charged with finding a missing woman wanted in a grisly killing. Upper management tells him he's got this, but fools and dead men convince him that may not be the case. But the lure of easy money is a powerful force, and Monk isn't foolish enough to think anyone will listen no matter how deadly the pursuit may be for them, or for him. Falling in love along the way, and a longing to heal old wounds add to his problems as he searches for the missing woman, and others for him. A nasty beating only heightens his desire to find the woman before the people lurking in the shadows decide to put an end to her, and to him.

Autor

After his brother Sterling disappears one too many times, Monk is asked to find him. But what starts as a simple case of a man cheating on his wife, becomes more problematic when a detective shows up asking questions, piquing Monk's curiosity, but is later found murdered. Complicating matters, the detective, like Sterling's lover, is black and transgendered. A world Monk knows little about. He knows Aisha, Sterling's lover is out there, feeding him clues, but unwilling to come out in the open. Sterling claims he doesn't know where she is but offers to seek counseling from a famous LA pastor, whose name has come up before along with someone named Flavius. Monk starts to believe the pastor, like his brother, isn't being honest. This concern only deepens when he finds that three other women tied to both Aisha and the pastor are missing.To make things worse, government figures and Russian interests are asking questions about a dead assassin Monk had confronted the year before, wanting answers and threatening violence.
