Synopsis

When the young husband of a wealthy heiress is found dead on his yacht floating off the California coastline, his death is ruled an accident and the case is closed. The grieving widow, certain her husband was murdered but getting no help from the police, turns to Raja Williams, a wealthy Oxford-educated private investigator, who has dedicated his resources to help those in need of justice. When Raja arrives in Los Angeles and more bodies begin to pile up, he suspects a coverup that may go as high up as the governor. With the help of his partner Vinny, a highly skilled hacker, Raja must unravel the case before everyone involved, including the two of them, winds up dead.

Review


I received this book in return for a honest review from the author Jack Thompson. The book is about Raja Williams a private investigator who doesn't charge his clients but asks them to pay it forward. He has his own private plane, drives Ferrari's and has a partner who is one of the best hackers out there who happens to look like a super model. 

Raja gets called to L.A. to find out what happened to a grieving widow's younger husband who's murdered on his yacht. Once he starts to unravel the murder he learns it goes way deeper then anyone can imagine. Soon he's driving to San Francisco looking into a crime Triad, dirty politicians, sex scandals, and a whole lot more. 

I don't want to give too much away but wow. I just loved Raja and his partner Vinny they are a perfect pair they complement each other well. This book had me from chapter one and I couldn't put it do down. It's fast paced, full of action, and dripping with mystery. The characters are well developed you have a great idea who they are and they are portrayed well. This book is packed full of twists and turns that keep you guessing through the whole book. I really enjoyed the concept of which Raja is he's not your typical detective but reminds me of Dick Tracy helping out the damsel in distress. A enjoyable read that has me wanting more. I can’t wait to read book two.
