He knows he’s more than just another washed-up ex-cop. Solving a murder will help him prove it...

A straight-shooter who lives on a boat and likes a drink or two, Henry’s frustrated he can't even land work as a dispatcher. And his job running security for a local baseball team is far from his idea of excitement.

But it pays the bills.

The morning after the season ends, Henry’s at his friend’s bar with a Bloody Mary in one hand and a phone in the other. He takes a call that could change everything...

Turns out a couple of fishermen pulled third baseman Lance Moreau’s body from the St. Johns River. And his teammate's been arrested for the murder.

The team's owner turns to Henry to help prove the cops have the wrong man.

Henry knows working security in an empty ballpark is one thing. But investigating a murder?

It won’t be easy.

Lucky for him he has Alex Jepson on his side. She’s beautiful. She’s tough. And as Henry likes to say...she’s the one with the brains.

They’re a good match, in more ways than one.

Now all they have to do is find the real killer...

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Gregory has written over 23 books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the Deputy U.S. Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries.

He was approximately twelve years old when his pet husky was shot by a farmer near his childhood home in Rhode Island. Rather than seeking revenge, he sent a story about it to the local newspaper, and was officially a published writer.

And, thanks to his neighbors and the local vet, his dog survived.

After a long career in advertising and marketing, including time spent writing letters to raise money for animals and children, Gregory got away from the office life to make a living building decks, custom closets, and doing handyman work.

But he kept thinking about telling stories, and later in life made it back to the desk and finally started writing again.

​Born in Providence, Rhode Island, today Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and dog in North Carolina.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally, a decent mystery

I've been reading cozies for too long. Now I'm trying police procedurals and PI stories, as long as they're not too gritty. People who are experienced, and are supposed to be investigating, as opposed to neglecting their own business and interfering with police investigations. I loved the way this book crept towards the solution, picking up pieces along the way, gradually revealing the whole picture, instead of hiding half of it behind phone calls that come but you never get to hear the conversation, and then having someone take a whole long boring chapter at the end to lay it all out. Even threw in a little twist just at the end, right when you thought you knew what was what. Well constructed book, definitely worth a read.

I felt this story was a little sluggish. The characters were lively and the plot twist just came on coming. I don't believe the thugs were explained in the end, but overall well done.

Overall this was a good read. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. Often when I restarted from where I left off I wasn't sure which series I'd been reading and considering I've just come off books by some of my favourite authors that was a compliment. The reason why I didn't round up to 4 stars is because I couldn't bring myself to care about the main character. I've read the whole book and he is still a bit of a wooden character to me. Don't get me wrong, there are some great quite-emotionless characters out there. Reacher for example. But Reacher is memorable and unusual and once you've read about him he does not blend. This character, Henry, unfortunately could be any one of a hundred. At the start I hadn't paid attention to which book I was reading - it was just the next on my to-read list - and for the longest time I couldn't get a feel for whether the main character was a man or a woman.
