Rating: Highly Recommend

Synopsis: Private investigator Lance Kruger was just a boy when his father vanished twenty-three years ago. Since then he's lived under the weight of that disappearance - until his father's car is finally dredged up from the bottom of Grey Lake. It should be a time for closure, except for the skeleton found in the trunk.

A missing person case gone cold has become on of murder, and Lance and attorney Morgan Dane must face the deadly past that's risen to the surface.

For Lance, the investigation yields troubling questions about a man he thought he know. But memories can play dirty tricks. For Morgan, uncovering each new lie comes with a disquieting fear that someone is out there watching, because someone is killing every witness tied to this decades-old crime. Morgan and Lance follow in the shadows of a relentless killer and walk right into the crossfire.

Review: I don't read series often, and when I do I seem to abandon them when after reading two or three. This series is not formulaic at all, I spent most of this book trying to figure out whodunnit because I knew it had to be someone introduced in the book. 

It's also a good thriller for the genre because I've read enough to usually spot the red herring or get a feel for the obvious player(s).

The fourth book was released last week and my library doesn't have a copy in yet. I will be checking their online catalog daily.
