Edgar AwardβWinning Author: A downhearted detective deals with missing persons and murder in the βpsychologically acute and fast-moving crime seriesβ (Booklist).
Lew Fonesca is a guy just trying to get along. When his wife died in a senseless auto wreck, he got up and left his old lifeβand when his car gave out in sunny Sarasota, Florida, he stayed. He takes small process-serving gigs and various odd jobs helping people out, and he tries, although maybe not as hard as he should, to fix the gaping hole in his heart.
But for a man who just wants to ease through life without any complications, Lew has a pretty full plate. The shrink heβs been seeing for over a year wants him to finally dump all the grief heβs carrying around so he can have more than a half-life. And Sally, the pretty single mom and social worker whoβs helped Lew in the past, wants to deepen their friendship. On top of that, a local minister asks him to find a town council member whoβs gone missing just before a crucial vote that could ruin a struggling community, and a distraught father comes to Lew to track down his wife and two kids, who Lew suspects ran off with the manβs best friend.
When people start showing up dead, Lew knows heβs in way over his headβand this time he may not be able make it all come out okay. . . .
βThere are three things weβve come to expect from a Kaminsky story: superb plotting, real-world dialogue and character development. He doesnβt place a foot wrong in any of these departments in Midnight Pass.β βSarasota Herald-Tribune
