Fiction. Mystery. HTML:

When computer hacker Tucker is told that a dead man is lying outside his Boston home, he's shocked to discover that the body looks just like his father . . . who died fifteen years ago. Tucker soon learns the terrible truth: the dead man is a half-brother he never knew he had. Determined to find answers, Tucker tracks down his father's second family.

But Tucker's first impressions of his long-lost relatives are spoiled when dark family secrets begin to emerge. Unresolved issues torment Tucker while he struggles to discover his place among his newfound kin. As he digs deeper into the murder and the family's hidden life, Tucker becomes trapped in a dangerous scheme, and there may be no way out.

This second in the series has an even better plot than the first in the Tucker mysteries, "Terminal". It involves industrial espionage at a Raytheon-like company and Tucker's father, mother, and her rediscovered large Italian family in the North End of Boston.

However, in the first book, there was a girlfriend and a best friend FBI agent who was murdered, along with Tucker's wife. In this sequel, there is a different girlfriend and a different FBI agent. No mention of the first ones! I don't know why this is treated as a standalone - it makes no sense. This is the only flaw I find - the plot is well paced and there's plenty of humor. It's a mystery!
