About the Author:

Steve Brewer is the author of nine other crime novels. His weekly newspaper column, The Home Front, is distributed nationally by Scripps Howard News Service. He lives in Redding, CA, with his wife and two sons.

From Booklist:

Sportswriter Drew Gavin is treading water. He harbors little ambition and doesn't even have a woman in his life. But at a class reunion, former flame Helen Graham comes to Drew for help. Her hotshot lawyer husband, Fred, has gotten himself in deep with local bookie Vicente Sanchez and is hiding out at an isolated mountain cabin. When Helen asks Drew to check on Fred, his only excuses are a big night with a six-pack and the remote control, so he agrees. When he arrives, he finds Fred dead. Now the bad guys are mad at Drew, the cops think he's a killer, and Helen isn't acting much like a grieving widow. As Drew struggles to get his former boring--but safe--life back, he realizes he's tangled in circumstances much more complex than a simple debt to a bookie. This is a well-written, stylish noir caper in which Drew's smoldering passion for an old flame nearly costs him his life. Wes Lukowsky
