Writing about crime is a lot more fun than being caught up in it... ¿¿¿After former crime journalist Joe Sheldon is forced to resign from one of the nation's leading newspapers, he finds solace in sipping his vodka cranberries, listening to vinyl records in his high-rise Miami apartment. But the bills are piling up, and Joe can't seem to catch a break. When old friend and bookie Dickie Caldwell tries to rope him into tracking down a gambler who owes him a lot of money, Joe knows his wallet could use the boost. But he's not quite sure it'll be worth the risk. Dickie has a young, flirtatious girlfriend. And when a ransom note is left in his door after she disappears, it becomes clear Dickie has to pay if he ever wants to see her again... The problem is, Joe's not so sure it makes much sense. Is it all some kind of a setup? He makes a promise to Dickie he'll find the girl and get some answers, and without hesitation dives headfirst into her alleged kidnapping. But trouble isn't far behind. It's about to get dangerous... Can an out-of-work wordsmith outsmart the bad guys? Joe has his doubts, and it soon becomes clear one wrong move means Joe will be forced to pay the ultimate price.

Autorenporträt
Gregory has written over twenty-three books, and is the author of four mystery and crime fiction series, including the Henry Walsh Private Investigator series, the US Marshal Charlie Harlow series, the Joe Sheldon crime series, and the new Jake Horn mysteries. His standalone crime novels include Drag the Man Down, Half Cocked, Danny Womack's .38, Biscayne Boogie, and a number of published short stories.He won his first award as a writer at ten years old, after sending a story to the Providence Journal about his pet husky being shot by a local farmer. The writing most likely wasn't very good, but the fact a young boy's dog was shot (true story!) tugged at the editor's heart strings just enough.His dog, luckily, survived.But that wasn't a paid gig, so years later he ended up in advertising. He eventually became a copywriter, specializing in direct mail and writing fundraising letters to help raise money for animals and children.The first book he wrote was nonfiction, but he quickly realized he wasn't smart enough to be giving anyone advice. He finally decided making up lies for a living would be much more fun.Somehow, he became an author.Raised in Providence, Rhode Island, Gregory lives with his wife, kids, and his dog, Jake, in North Carolina.
