Obsession can be deadly.
What’s worse than a missing man?
A dead one.
Following a messy divorce and the messier death of his partner, Detective Frank Luca needed a break. He needed sunlight and clean air. He needed a re-boot. So, he’s traded the smog of New Jersey for the sun-kissed beaches of southwest Florida. Babes, bikinis, and booze.
The easy life, right? Wrong.
Working a missing persons case, Frank gets pulled back into the filth he’s tried so hard to avoid. Worse, he’s falling for the missing man’s beautiful wife.
Who does that?
Florida may be beautiful, but its beauty is only skin deep. There’s rot under all that beauty–and death.
Jammed with betrayal, tension, and suspense, Vanished is the first novel in the Luca Mystery series.
Fans of Law and Order, CSI, & Bosch will love this gripping mystery crime thriller!
Vanished can be read as a stand-alone novel.
