Résumé :
Hang on and let Shadow Investigation immerse you in Florida's crime scene-boats, drugs, and money...with some romance on the side. A 5-star, page-flipping, helluva read! -Cam Torrens, author of Stable: Someone is Taking Them... It's 1987-a dangerous period during America's War on Drugs, but DEA Special Agent Sam Dahl is comfortable- perhaps even a little bored-with his job seizing drug money from couriers passing through the daily hubbub of the LAX airport. A friend begs Sam to find out what happened to her parents who disappeared while boating in the Gulf of Mexico. Although Sam possesses well-honed instincts and a keen eye for trouble, he knows nothing about missing-person cases. Eventually, Sam agrees to help and under the guise of taking a long overdue vacation, he jumps on a flight to the Sunshine State. Soon, his real job and the personal favor to his friend meld into a single investigation. But Sam gets more than he bargained for when he falls for a beautiful woman, then battles a drug kingpin intent on destroying him. And, if Sam isn't careful, he could lose his livelihood and his life. Christopher Amato, who spent a career as a federal agent, has written a fast-paced, high-stakes thriller that will be irresistible to readers, but will also stand up to the critical and discerning eye of law enforcement professionals....

A 5-star, page-flipping, helluva read! -Cam Torrens, author of the Tyler Zahn mystery-suspense series 1987. A quiet stretch of the Gulf of Mexico. A chance encounter. And a brutal crime no one sees coming. When a prominent surgeon and his wife vanish during a coastal voyage to Sanibel Island, their disappearance is written off as another tragedy at sea. But their daughter knows better. Across the country in Los Angeles, DEA Agent Sam Dahl is comfortable but worn down by the routine seizing drug money from couriers moving through the daily chaos of LAX. Looking for something more, he reluctantly agrees to help a woman from his past find answers. Under the guise of a long-overdue vacation, Sam heads to the Sunshine State where the favor quickly becomes something else. With no authority and little experience in missing persons cases, Sam follows a trail through Florida's coastlines and quiet communities, where answers are scarce and nothing is as simple as it seems. As his official work and personal mission collide, he's pulled deeper into an investigation that turns more dangerous with every step. Somewhere beneath the surface lies the truth about what happened on the water-and someone is counting on it staying hidden. Shadow Investigation is a gripping crime novel grounded in real-world law enforcement experience, where the stakes are as personal as they are deadly....
