Summary

Jimmy McSwain returns to help his sister's boyfriend fight a murder charge - and finds he may just have a lead on a cold case. Hell's Kitchen private investigator Jimmy McSwain returns in a twisting tale of past sins and present-day vengeance.

Jimmy McSwain isn't thrilled about taking a case for free - but when his sister fears her boyfriend, Rocky, is cheating on her, he has no choice. But the case takes a deadly turn when Rocky is standing over the body of a man he was just seen kissing, and he's holding the gun. He begs Jimmy to prove his innocence. Meanwhile, as a sweltering heat wave claims New York City, a gunman with a thirst for blood is targeting Manhattan deli owners and has already claimed two victims. Jimmy knows a thing or two about those - 14 years ago his father was killed outside a deli, and it's possible today's killer could be linked to that unsolved murder, one that continues to haunt Jimmy.

Enlisting the aid of sexy NYPD Captain Francis X. Frisano, Jimmy finds himself torn between the two cases, as well as the heat simmering between himself and the hot cop. Suddenly a quiet summer has erupted into a full blown crime wave.

Brilliant narration

It’s taken me a bit of time to get into the Jimmy McShane series. The first book I found a bit slow, this one better as I got to know the characters. Joel Leslie as narrator bring them all to life brilliantly

2nd in a great series!

I love this series, these books are perfect for winding down at the end of a long day at work. Simple but enjoyable plots centered around Jimmy, a sexy private dick. The the well written dialogue is brought to life by another superb performance by Joel Leslie, I hope he is able to record the rest of the series.
