I am a BIG fan of the Mike Bowditch series but discovered the series toward the middle of the series, so I am trying to find the time to go back and read the earlier books. I listened to the audiobook version of this book.

In this book we see, Mike Bowditch’s early beginnings, his upbringing and relationship with his father both as a teenager and as a grown man. Mike came home on day and had a message from his father on his answering machine. It had been two years since he last heard from him. Then Mike is contacted by the police who inform him that his father in the primes suspect in the death of a local police officer. This gives Mike a lot to chew on. His relationship with his father has been a dysfunctional one and he is torn. He wants his father to be innocents but people he trusts are telling him he has this one all wrong.

Mike sets out to get answers and to find the real killer. Will he like what he finds??????

It was interesting to go back to the very first book as I am up to date on the later books so I can see and appreciate the character development and how the books have evolved over time.

With the other books in this series, I thoroughly enjoyed this one. I look forward to reading book #2 next while I anxiously wait for book #14 to come out next year!!!
