Mystery Private Eye
Boxer Miles Young thinks he’s got one more shot in him
before it’s time to hang up the gloves for good. He may be
the only one who thinks so. The truth is, he enjoys the
recognition his career has brought him at home, in the small
Latin American country of Belize, and he’s worried about how
he’ll support his daughter once it’s over. So when his
promoter comes to him with a proposition that includes one
last big fight, he listens.
Isabelle Gilmore wants
Miles to find her daughter, who’s run off with some of her
mother’s money and her no-good boyfriend. Isabelle’s afraid
Rian’s going to marry the kid, the only son of corrupt
ex--police chief Marlon Tablada, and she wants Rian---and
the money---found. In return, Miles gets put on a fight card
with a $30,000 payday.
He’s reluctant, but Isabelle
thinks a hometown hero can get people to talk in ways a
private investigator can’t. Trouble is, before he can find
Rian, he learns that there’s much more to Isabelle, her
daughter, and Marlon than Isabelle let on.
Clearly at
home in the world of hardboiled crime writing, debut
novelist Ian Vasquez is a bright new talent who infuses
In the Heat with a steamy, exotic voice all his own.
Awards Shamus, Best First P.I. Novel, October 2009
