Dennis has done it again; another excellent novel in the series with PI Hardman the ex-cop and partner Hump Evans, ex-football star. Retired Pro football player Ed Cross had quite a reputation as a stud and as a jerk. He thought he was god’s gift to women and he liked to rub his prowess in noses of fellow players, and was consequently liked by few. So when Cross mailed a skin flick to Hump, of Cross celebrating with two women in bed, one of which was Hump’s ex-girlfriend, Hump was out for blood. Pan to the scene of the ex-girlfriend’s bedroom, blood everywhere, Cross is dead, and Hump has just found him. Hump calls to Hardman in a panic, wondering what to do, and swearing he didn’t do it. Hardman tells him to call the cops, report it, and then they set out to prove that Hump wasn’t the killer. Little do they know that Hump wasn’t the only one to receive a cuckold video and that isn’t the only reason Cross was wanted dead. There is no shortage of suspects, no tears for the victim, and the suspects all seem to have alibis. A surprise ending, not neatly tied up, and plenty unanswered questions but a superb story worth full marks on all counts. I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
