My rating: 3.5
Setting: Contemporary Coastal Oregon
First line/s: "The ocean churned, wild and unforgiving, buffeting the boat from all sides."
My comments: Didn't enjoy this quite as much as some of the previous, though it was entertaining and not unlikable. In this one, Gage does some sleuthing for a very famous female singer - who he ends up having a relationships with - before she is kidnapped. Quite a bit of on-the-edge-of-your-seat suspense and adventure, and lots and lots of hand-to-hand, face-to-face fighting.
Goodreads synopsis: They find his body at the bottom of Heceta Head Lighthouse—Ed Boone, a longtime volunteer who commits suicide rather than see his grim diagnosis to its bitter end. The strangeness of the old man's death makes the local news, but Garrison Gage thinks little of it until the famous Nora West sneaks into town with an unsettling letter in hand.
Professing he wants to go to his grave with a clear conscience, Ed claims to be Nora's biological father. But the revelation stirs up all kinds of complicated emotions for the talented but troubled musician, who hires Gage to find out the truth.
Yet the truth may be a lot more disturbing — and dangerous — than either of them expect.
