Description:Minding his own business. Sipping his whiskey. Halfway down the second half of the bar, alone, as he liked it. And then – who should come into Eddy’s Café in the midst of a snowstorm in this small city on New England’s South Coast but a face from the past. “It was a face I knew, though my time-numbed senses weren’t registering. I looked at her through the mirror as she untied the yarn of an old-fashioned wool hat from under her chin, the kind nobody’s worn since 1960 unless they lived north of Bangor. She slid it off and shook the wet ends of her dark hair. She stared at me as I stared at her reflection, our eyes not meeting. Then it clicked. I knew this girl from a lifetime ago. We had worked together up in Manchester, a couple of jobs and a decade or so back. I was the cops reporter, and she worked the copy desk. What I remembered most was we had slept together once in each of the three years I was there. The last time as a present to ourselves before I left to go to Portland. But for the life of me, I couldn’t think of her name.” Monique’s brother is missing, gone five days. Local police have nothing, yet, but time is running out. She remembers those years ago when Peter MacAlister, her on and off romantic companion, used his unique sense of deduction to help the police locate a missing girl. She needed him to do it again. She just drove a hundred miles through a blinding snowstorm to find him. She needed him to find her beloved Charlie, before he was gone for good. Charlie was an outdoorsman, an independent spirit, an eccentric mind in a youthful body, who would take off into the elements at a moment’s notice. But he always returned, until now. A survivalist club. A biker bar called Axe Max. A yuppie bar called Rue Appetit. A girlfriend called Pudding. A kinky party crowd. Cops, reporters, and a social-climbing nemesis. Oh, and a brutal murder. Just some of what Peter encounters as he dedicates himself to finding Monique’s brother, who has disappeared in the middle of New Hampshire. He feels a special obligation to her; she feels a rekindled lust for him. But do other ladies stand in the way of their coming together? And thank goodness for his partner, aging attorney Mory Wilbur. There may not be a financial reward this time, but he’s going to do his best to help Peter solve the case. The first Peter MacAlister Mystery, “Edie,” takes Peter through finely woven and seedy sections of Massachusetts and Rhode Island as he and Mory chase the case of the missing million. “Monique” – book two in the series – drives him north in his sturdy old Volvo to Manchester, New Hampshire. Coming soon, “Margot” finds Peter ensconced in Vermont, trying to recover a bundle and quash an investment scam for his boss’s ultra-spoiled sister-in-law. Tag along as Peter takes on crisis cases that take him all over New England in this somewhat dark, definitely moody series with a decidedly noir tilt. Scott C. Smith is the author of the farcical, warm action series THE LGBT SUPERHEROES! Books I-III, also available exclusively on Amazon.com.From 5-star “I loved this book. Having read and throughly enjoyed the first Peter MacAlister book “Edie”, it is like Peter is a new friend! I can’t wait to read what adventure will take Peter away from his real job next! I highly recommend this entertaining Peter MacAlister Mystery Series to everyone!” “Peter is back and pulled into a missing person case in New Hampshire. An old flame, small town politics, and skeletons in lots of closets. A satisfying mystery in another fresh setting.” “Monique is the second book in this new series and it didn't disappoint. The writing is so clever and entertaining and I can't wait for Peter MacAlister's next adventure.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
