by Dallas Gorham (Author)
When His Sister Goes Missing, South Florida, Pi, Carlos McCrary Dives into the Corrupt Houston Underworld in Sometimes You Lose, a Murder Mystery Thriller from Dallas Gorham.
-Houston Texas, Present Day-
Carlos McCrary's Caribbean cruise is interrupted by a frantic voicemail from his sister, desperate for his help. Unable to reach her, he arranges travel to Houston where no one has seen his sister for a week or her husband for over two months.
McCrary uncovers their secret lives with connections to Houston drug traffickers and Mexican gangsters, all protected by crooked cops on the take.
Enlisting the help of Houston cop and former high school classmate, Bettina Simpson, together, they gather evidence of his sister's kidnapping and suspected murder until Bettina is kidnapped.
Now Carlos McCrary faces a criminal mastermind, surrounded by a fortress of corruption, intent on killing him and those he seeks.
Publisher's Note: Dallas Gorham combines murder, mystery, and mayhem with a touch of humor-all with a PG-13 rating. The Carlos McCrary, Private Investigator, Mystery Thriller Series can be read and enjoyed in any order. Readers of hard-boiled detective and crime novels will not want to miss this hard-hitting, pulse-pounding series.
