Produktbeschreibung
Be careful what you wish for All maverick private investigator Evan Buckley wants is a cold beer and to find his wife Sarah after she disappeared without trace five years ago—at least that´s what he thought until her friend Ellie Martin turns up looking for him one day with the promise of information. There´s a catch, of course. Sadly, when things look too good to be true, it´s usually because they are—although on the face of it, all Ellie wants in return is for Evan to find the enigmatic Dixie for her. She just forgets to mention some vital information Evan needs to keep himself alive and kicking. Caught between a large rock and a very hard place, Evan is drawn deeper into Dixie´s world of betrayal, gratuitous torture and psychopathic Mexican drug gangs. Horror replaces euphoria when he realizes it´s not only his life Ellie has put in danger—when she admits she left Sarah holding the three million dollars she ripped off from the vindictive gang leader Chico. Treachery; at first it deceives, at last it betrays. Maverick private investigator Evan Buckley continues down the trail of murder, treachery and half-buried secrets he set out on in Before The Killing Starts, after Ellie Martin filled his head with tales of torture and sent him after the enigmatic Dixie. Always one step behind the cold-blooded opposition and struggling to make sense of all the lies and betrayal, Evan doesn´t know who to believe or trust—if anybody. The only thing he knows for sure is the consequences of making the wrong decision will be brutal. And his predicament isn´t helped when he finds himself the prime suspect in the latest murder—looks like somebody with a hidden agenda just set him up. Meanwhile, the dead man´s brother just got out of jail and he´s looking for answers of his own. With a gun in her mouth Ellie´s feeling desperate and tells him Evan´s his man if it´s Old Testament style vengeance he´s after. He´s an eye-for-an-eye sort of guy with a homemade garrote and a sick sense of humor, but nobody´s laughing when he gets his merciless wire around Evan´s neck. You reap what you sow The final part of the Dixie Killer Blues trilogy in which maverick private investigator Evan Buckley and disgraced detective Ed Guillory forge relentlessly ahead with their uneasy alliance in the hunt for Dixie´s killer. Clashing with cold-blooded psychopaths and the vindictive gang leader Chico along the way, their efforts are hamstrung when Guillory´s attempts to redeem himself lead to unexpected consequences—and Evan finds himself the victim of Chico´s latest sick fantasy as he takes on the mantle of serial killer Ed Gein. To make matters worse, nobody´s neck is safe as Dixie´s brother, Jackson, continues to wreak his own brand of havoc in his quest for vengeance, but in the final showdown it´s not Dixie´s death that rocks him back on his heels—and it´s not anything his home-made garrote can help him with this time. Meanwhile, when Ellie Martin´s single-minded pursuit of her own self interest—and Evan´s associated demise—comes back to bite her, she realizes too late that she´s set in motion forces she can´t control and discovers to her cost an eternal and unforgiving truth: You reap what you sow. As always, things get worse before they get better, but, in the end, everybody gets what they deserve—more or less—just not necessarily what they were hoping for, and, in Evan´s case, life will never be the same again.
