Jackson Gamble Novel

Nashville PI Jackson Gamble takes on a case that seems simple enough. All he has to do is find and return home a fourteen-year-old girl who has disappeared from home. Gamble's experience tells him the girl is just another runaway, but her mother insists she has been kidnapped. The search for Gabrielle sets Gamble on a path that leads him through the city's underbelly of sex for hire, pornography, snake-handling religious fundamentalists, and perhaps a serial killer of teenaged girls. With the help of an attractive woman with a heartbreaking past of her own, he reaches the conclusion of his investigation, with results that are both tragic and unforgettable, where the smallest mistake could spell the end of both his career and his life.

Nashville PI Jackson Gamble is back on the case, and this time he's on the trail of the mentally unstable son of wealthy real estate developer Richard Eberle, who himself has only months to live. Complications quickly arise, as not only has the young man in question left no hint as to where he might have gone, but also that, apart from his father, the very people who should be most concerned for the missing man's well-being seem determined to make sure he isn't found. In short order, what starts out as an ordinary missing person investigation quickly turns deadly, as bodies begin to pile up. And as the case unfolds, Gamble finds he is on the verge of discovering a dark and deadly family secret that threatens not also his reputation, but also his life.
