Leo
gets involved in a double murder investigation when the ugly tweed
coat belonging to his father is found with two dead men stuffed in
the trunk of a car. Leo's interest is piqued as he hadn't seen that
coat since his father died years ago.
This
is a complex mystery as there are layers upon layers Leo has to
uncover. Central in the investigation is a church with a very popular
preacher at the helm. There are also a couple of tough guys involved
and Leo suffers some bruising for his detecting efforts.
I
found the church angle very interesting. At one point Leo finds boxes
and boxes of the pastor's book that was advertised as a bestseller. A
similar situation actually happened with a Seattle pastor.
I
enjoyed the plot of this novel as Leo uncovered the layers of
deceit. I felt the ending was a little unrealistic, wrapping up a
loose end a little too conveniently.
To
my regular blog readers, this novel contains sex scenes, violence,
and vulgar language.
My
rating: 4/5 stars.
