He's a refreshingly different hero, definitely not young and six-packed, but... Retired reporter Jake Scott knows a thing or two about exposing the truth and unmasking frauds. Unfortunately, he walks a fine line between helping and interfering in investigations. Homicide Detective Dani Perez, with whom Jake has a shaky personal relationship, doesn't always appreciate it, but he can't seem to help himself. The affable and shrewd, yet old fashioned, Jake is hot on the trail of a case when a body discovered in a bog and three suspects lead him to the doorstep of The Guardians of Truth, a shady organization with an opportunistic and charismatic leader. While the organization purports to offer everlasting support to its followers, Jake discovers just the opposite is true. Now Jake and an insider, Cassie Wright, want to expose the leader and protect his followers from financial ruin or worse. Their harrowing quest isn't without peril, as one will disappear and the other will be forced to fight for survival. If you like your heroes to be, well, like you and me, the second book in the Jake Scott Mystery Series will draw you in and have you wishing you could dive in to help.
