Cornelius (Con) Leeds stumbles on a deadly world of child abuse, drug-dealing motorcycle gangs and murder when he is hired to find the granddaughter of a wealthy New York businessman. Set in the quiet forest landscape of the New Jersey Pine Barrens and the garish nightlife of Atlantic City, this sizzling mystery is full of action and plot twists that keep on at breakneck speed.Moving between South Jersey and New York City, Con tracks a killer he cant identify but must stop. Con finds the granddaughter but when she dies of a massive drug overdose in Brooklyn, he is hired again to find her killer. The action is salted with memorable characters, from Thelma Herzog, Cons chain-smoking landlady and amateur assistant, to a flashy pimp who attends AA meetings and works a day job as an electrician. But the most unforgettable is Con himself, an ex-NYPD homicide detective, who prefers to live in a cottage on a peaceful Pine Barrens river but must come to the glitzy gambling mecca of Atlantic City to work as a private investigator.
