Lure

For his next hardboiled outing, P.I. Frank Johnson accepts a missing person case when Cain Milsap seeks out Frank's assistance to find Milsap's 28-year-old daughter, Brett. Of course, nothing is simple as it seems on the surface in Frank's world. As he delves deeper into the twisty investigation, the more questions arise. All the while, he also deals with his personal problems and handles his other PI cases. He depends on his long-time business partner Gerald Peyton, his medical examiner wife Dreema, and his brilliant but outspoken attorney Robert Gatlin.Critically acclaimed crime novelist James Crumley wrote of the P.I. Frank Johnson Mystery Series: With a plot as complex as your grandmother's crocheted doilies, Mr. Lynskey creates a portrait of the rural hill country that rings as true as the clank of a Copenhagen can on a PBR can, as does his handle on guns, love, and betrayal. This novel is well worth the read and makes me want more.
