Things aren’t going so well for lobbyist James Peters. First his wife leaves. Now his partner Woodrow Wilson Cox goes missing while they’re at Ben State University for a weekend. They went there for a client cocktail party, football game and golf for the weekend. Now James is the police’s prime suspect. An attractive TV reporter covering his partner’s disappearance begins to pursue James through all of this.

James’ business isn’t going very well and he has unhappy mobsters to deal with, as well as a corrupt state senator. Can things get any worse? Yes, but you’ll have to read the book to find out what happens and how he deals with it.

This is a great book. I enjoyed it. It has lots of twists and turns and plenty of humor as well. The author has done a great job constructing an enjoyable mystery and the characters are wonderful too. You really feel what James is going through. I hope there will be more books in this series. I recommend it.
