Appartiene alle SerieDylan Scott (8)
Private investigator Dylan Scott is struggling to come to terms with the death of his wife. He has to cope for the sake of his two children, though it's easier to blame himself for her death and take comfort in a bottle of whisky. When he hears that the man who helped him solve his first case has been killed in Dawson's Clough, Dylan finds a new purpose and vows to put all his energy into finding justice for him. Who would have a motive to kill a kind man like Simple Stevie? As it turns out, everyone. Dylan's hunch is that Stevie must have snapped a photo of the wrong person, doing something they want erased, so he focuses his investigation on the town's residents. But Dylan's worst fears are realized when he again finds his own family in the crosshairs. A Dylan Scott Mystery 90,000 words Non sono state trovate descrizioni di biblioteche |

When Frank, Dylan’s former supervisor and friend, calls to tell him about the murder of Stevie Greenwood, Dylan can’t help but take Stevie’s murder personally. Simple Stevie, as he was known, helped Dylan on his first case. The case that gave him back his self respect and set the stage for a reconciliation with Bev. Dylan believes he owes it to Stevie to find his killer.
After Bev’s death Dylan hired a female assistant, Bobby; a petite, bossy, ball of energy. Bobby’s been an asset to the business. Her dedication allows Dylan to return to Dawson’s Clough pro bono in search of justice for Stevie.
Dylan’s mom, Vicky, has sold her flat and moved in with Dylan, Luke, and Freya. Offbeat as she is, Dylan would be completely lost without her. Sixteen year old Luke has told Dylan that he thinks they’re doing well. Everyone is moving on and that’s as it should be. It’s Dylan who’s struggling. On the surface he’s dealing but he can barely speak of Bev. He’s just keeping it all buried as deeply as he can. Guilt will eat you alive if you let it.
Thanks to Bobby, Dylan’s business is doing well enough to allow him to keep everyone fed, clothed, and housed. Having Bobby also allows him to escape up North. As much as he loves his children and Vicky, he needs to get away and breathe….
Dylan is back doing what he does best, discovering the truth. Stevie and his new obsession, taking pictures with his camera, seems to have been the catalyst for a mini crime spree.
DEAD SIMPLE gives Dylan, and readers, some space from the emotional trauma of Dead End feeling almost anti-climactic. That feeling doesn’t last long, though. Plenty of twists, turns, and more than one mystery satisfy the armchair sleuths’ need to give their grey cells a thorough workout.
Centering on society’s marginalized, regardless of the reason; Dylan’s investigative sojourn in Dawson’s Clough shows him at his most honest and human.
DEAD SIMPLE highlights superbly why Dylan is a perfect, albeit flawed, hero.
