Romance Suspense | Thriller Crime

Readers first met Dodge Hanley in SMASH CUT (8/09) as Derek Mitchell's determined private investigator. As a former cop, Dodge has never been hesitant about breaking rules and doing whatever it takes to catch a criminal. But when his former lover, Caroline King, contacts him after 30 years to ask for his help with a serious matter that involves their daughter, Berry, a daughter Dodge has not seen since she was a baby, his single-minded tenacity is unequaled as he drops everything to fly to Texas.

It seems a co-worker has been stalking Berry for some time, but has now made an attempt on her life. Dodge is the only person Caroline knows she can trust implicitly to handle the matter. Joining forces with a very savvy local deputy, Dodge is resolute in his pursuit to apprehend the deranged man whose obsession with Berry is leading to more murders. This time Dodge has more to lose than ever before; the lives of his daughter and the woman he's loved and never forgotten for over 30 years are at stake -- as well as his heart.

Brace yourself for exhilarating twists and turns in this gripping tale of obsession, murder and the fragile nature of relationships as a man of flawed character confronts the sins of his past to save those he loves.

SUMMARY

A new novel from New York Times bestseller Brown, full of her trademarks: tight plotting, breathless twists, edge-of-your-seat suspense, and sizzle.

Dodge Hanley, first introduced in SMASH CUT as Derek Mitchell’s irascible but indispensable staff investigator, returns as the flawed protagonist of TOUGH CUSTOMER. A scoundrel women love to hate, Dodge has used shady means of delivering the goods in the past . . . but when it comes to aiding the daughter of his former lover, his dogged perseverance knows no bounds.

In his determination to uncover the truth for Caroline and her daughter, Berry, Dodge teams with a small town sheriff to track down a depraved man who’s obsessed with having Berry -- or killing her.
