Sins Of The Father

Fifty years ago, pharmaceuticals magnate Frank Hanna got a girl pregnant. Then she disappeared. Now he's dying with nobody to inherit his fortune - apart from his weak-willed daughter and her bullying lover, a gambler in over his head with the Russian mob, willing to do anything to save his own skin. Desperate to atone for his sins, Hanna hires maverick PI Evan Buckley to investigate, to find answers to the questions that haunt him. Did she have the baby? And if so, what happened to it?

As Evan searches for somebody who might never have existed, peeling back fifty years of lies and betrayal to uncover the tragic story hidden underneath, he faces a terrible dilemma: the closer he gets to the truth, the more he puts his quarry in danger. How can he stop himself from becoming an unwilling pawn, his dogged tenacity turned against him as he leads the ruthless mobsters to the one person who stands between them and Hanna's fortune?

To make matters worse, Evan’s own troubled past is back with a vengeance as his nemesis, the degenerate child-killer Carl Hendricks, feeds his festering hatred from his prison cell, sending a killer intent on Old Testament-style retribution after Evan and his family.
