Revolver Road: A Harper McClain Mystery

When a musician disappears shortly before his new album is released, crime reporter Harper McClain wants to investigate. Police think Xavier Rayne committed suicide by drowning himself, but Harper suspects something more involved, as shots were heard on the beach the night he disappeared. Then a man's body washes up with two bullet holes Xavier was a lot different in his professional life than his personal one. His girlfriend is grief-stricken, yet Xavier was known to be a player. She's been hiding out some miles away from the hub of Savannah after receiving notice that someone wants her dead ... just like her mother. She doesn't know who .. or why .. but she's taking no chances. As Harper digs deeper into the case, though, the threats against her own life return. The phone call she received was very real. A killer from her past is coming for her. Now she's out to solve two murders ... while staying alive herself. This is a well written story, perfectly balanced between Harper's past and present. The two stories mesh seamlessly with abundant multiple suspects. As a newspaper reporter, this author began covering murders at the age of 22 and I was expecting a large amount of credibility ... I was not disappointed. Although this is third in the series, it is easily read as a stand alone. However, I do recommend starting at the beginning and reading in order. Harper is a great character and one not to be ignored. Many thanks to the author / St Martin's Press / Minotaur Books / Netgalley for the digital copy of this crime fiction.
