The story is about a single
mother named Devon Connor who hires Private Investigator Elvis
Cole. Devon is curious about her son and wants answers.
At first, the case sounds simple, but as Cole asks
questions during his first meeting with Devon things take
an unexpected turn. Devon's son Tyson has anxiety and
hates going to school. Tyson has been expelled from two
different high schools and this last school he was
enrolled in is a last hope effort at getting him an
education. Devon questions Tyson's behavior, but not
because of his previous problems.
Devon starts to grow
concerned for her son when he starts coming home from
school wearing name brand clothing that she did not buy.
When she asks him where he got them he immediately tells her
his friend's
parents own a department store and he bought them really
cheap. Devon knows Tyson is not telling her the truth.
Her intuition tells her something else is going on and
that is why she hired Cole. His collection of new items
goes from shirts to an Xbox, hidden cash, and even a
Rolex it is obvious that he is doing something illegal,
but what? Is it a case of sticky fingers or dealing
drugs? The Rolex offers a much needed lead in the case.
Cole has a friend run the serial number to see if the
watch has been reported stolen. When the search comes
back to the owner being Dr. Richard Slauson and a note to
call the police immediately. The story takes an
interesting turn from here.
I will not say too much
because I do not want to give away spoilers. This is a
fast-paced read that involves a Private Investigator, two
hired killers, a teenager who is up to something, and a
concerned mother. The pieces fall into place with each
page you read and each chapter adds more questions until
the huge surprise at the end. THE WANTED is full of
action and suspense with mysterious characters that will
take you on a truly bizarre ride. Overall, this book is
perfect for anyone who loves a good suspenseful mystery
thriller novel.

They stole the wrong thing from the wrong man. Determined to get it back, he has hired a team that is smart and brutal, and to even the odds, Cole calls in his friends Joe Pike and Jon Stone. But even they may be overmatched. The hired killers are leaving a trail of bodies in their wake. A few more won’t make any difference.
