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.
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.
