It's a career choice that takes a big toll on his soul and leads him to a shocking discovery that breaks his heart. That's when a high-powered lawyer hires him to go to London to find the missing heir of a wealthy Georgia industrialist. The timing is perfect for Hardman, who is eager to escape his personal pain. But misery of a different sort is awaiting him in England, where he becomes embroiled in an ugly case of embezzlement and murder that follows him back to Atlanta...and that will have a devastating impact on his life.</p><p>Includes an Afterword by Lee Goldberg, #1 <em>New York Times</em> bestselling author of <em>True Fiction</em> and<em> Lost Hills</em></p><p><strong>Praise for the <em>Hardman</em> Series: </strong></p><p>"Expert writing, plus good plotting and an unusual degree of sensitivity. Ralph Dennis has mastered the genre and supplied top entertainment. " <em>The New York Times</em></p><p>"Exceptional characterization, strong and vigorous prose, and a glimpse into a place and time that has long since disappeared." <em>Mystery Scene Magazine</em></p><p>"Gritty writing? Tough talk? Gripping action? Yes, yes and yes." <em>The Daily Oklahoman </em></p><p>"It's gritty, it's grounded, and it's also strong on character. The writing is a cut above and then there's the social realism, the piercing look at racism, corruption and the underbelly of the city." <em>NB Magazine UK</em></p><p>"The Hardman books are by far the best of the men's action-adventure series." <em>Mother Jones Magazine</em></p><p>"Ralph Dennis is an underappreciated master. His Hardman series is one of the finest in the P.I. genre." Robert Randisi, founder of the Private Eye Writers of America</p><p> </p>
