John D Patten: Miami Burn

A missing daughter from a prominent family. Her mother wants her found, just to know she is safe.

Her choice for the job – Titus. Ex-con, former detective. A man seemingly just passing through and working as a bartender. And yet recommended for the mission.

It’s when the family tries to pay him off , to walk away, that his thoughts are cemented. Something is very wrong with this whole scenario.

This PI book hits all the spots. Titus is a tough guy with a solid moral code, the kind that doesn’t stop him from killing those who want him dead.

Excellent peripheral characters in ex-con turned preacher: Luther. And a slow burn with a Detective Sergeant that has you rooting for them.

I came to Miami Burn by chance and I’m happy about that. There are two additional books to the series, and I suggest you give it a chance.
