Well done and interesting characters Given ARC by Net Galley and St Martin Press for my voluntary review and my honest opinion

law-enforcement, attempted-murder, secrets, family-dynamics, Minnesota, St Paul, procedural, friendship, crime-fiction***** Rushmore McKenzie isn't the one doing the diligence because he has been shot in the back and is in dire straits in the ICU. But everyone from his wife to all those who worked with or love and/or owe him one are doing everything they can to trace his steps for the past few weeks to find the Why, Who, and more. McKenzie was a St Paul police detective, but now is a sometime PI and is wealthy. The investigation takes them into the world of big business, weird families, high class drug rings, and more (like learning about liver transplants). In the previous book I felt like I was missing something but this one fills in any blanks and is very real and enjoyable. World class storytelling! I requested and received a free ebook copy from St. Martin's Press/Minotaur Books via NetGalley. Thank you!
