Who knew that there were so many of them out there but good for me. I had never heard of David Housewright so was very pleased with how good this was. It was well written and flowed smoothly. The story was unusual, too; not the same-ole, same-ole. Won't tell you what it was about because I hate when others get too descriptive. Seventh in the Rushmore McKenzie series. Reviewed for Reviewing the Evidence. Enjoyable, if not particularly original. He does use familiar PI tropes effectively. Zeige 5 von 5 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Rushmore McKenzie is a retired cop, an unexpected millionaire, and an occasional unlicensed private investigator. So, it isn't the biggest surprise in the world when he's attacked and kidnapped from his home - McKenzie has more than a few enemies out there with a grudge against him. But it is a surprise when it turns out his kidnapping is a case of mistaken identity. McKenzie was taken to the small plains town of Libbie, South Dakota which just lost pretty much everything it had to a con man using McKenzie's name. Using a scam involving a new shopping mall, the grifter apparently stole all the money electronically from the bank then disappeared, leaving behind a devastated town full of people with many reasons to hate him. To that list of enemies, he's just added McKenzie who is now determined to help the devastated townspeople, as well as catch and punish the weasel besmirching his reputation.

The Rush that they know scammed the town into believing he was going to build a mall just outside of town with their $$$$ and disappearing along with their investment.
The town is dying the women are beautiful, & the men are assholes.
When the Sheriff realizes that McKenzie is not the man who was using his name or scammed the town, the Sheriff asks McKenzie to help recover the lost money.
Now here's the thing, there had to have been an insider helping... who else knew the password to the escrow account?
There is the town bully who likes to set peoples property on fire, but who is bested by McKenzie, but doesn't learn his lesson..
There are all the beautiful lonely women in the town who all look for love in all the wrong places.
There are the men who run the town who all seem to be assholes, with the exception of the City & County Sheriff.
Then there is the fire & the double murder... as well as McKenzie again being drugged, stripped, beaten, & dropped off nearly naked in the middle of the plains of Montana.
Lots of action, no lack of assholes & once again McKenzie saves everyone's bacon. ( )
