P. I. Frank Johnson accepts several cases of infidelity, which have become his primary source of income. Beth Humphreys hires Frank to follow her cheating husband, Trey. Frank loses sight of Trey's vehicle during a torrential rain, which he reports to the enraged Beth. She decides to give him one more chance. Later, Frank achieves better results for his next clients who also have cheating spouses and is able to bill them for his detective work.
Frank also seeks new ways to expand his private investigator services in order to beef up his profits and keep his PI agency afloat. He begins to piece together his late father Homer's violent past, making several profound revelations. As he always has done, Frank turns to his long-time friend and business partner, Gerald Peyton; his medical examiner wife, Dreema; and his brilliant and outspoken attorney, Robert Gatlin. Critically acclaimed crime novelist James Crumley endorsed 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." #1 New York Times bestselling author James Rollins states, "Ed Lynskey's P.
I. Frank Johnson's books are as hard-bitten and hard-boiled as they come. The dialogue crackles with such sharpness that you'd swear sparks were jumping off the pages. And P. I. Frank Johnson is a character cut from the Tarantino mold: tough, wounded, conflicted, and badass." New York Times bestselling author and Edgar Award-winning author Megan Abbott writes the P. I. Frank Johnson mystery series, which "bears the richest nicotine and bourbon stains of the hardboiled genre, yet also bristles with vitality.
The plot sings, the characters are twisty and textured, and the violence is brutal but inevitable. These elements would be more than enough, yet Ed Lynskey offers so much more in the form of a perfectly pitched prose style that swings effortlessly from back-country grit to Appalachian poetry and back again."
