Cloud of Suspects — Laurence Gough

The thirteenth mystery featuring Detective Jack Willows and Claire Parker

Harvey is finally out of prison, with a whole lot of living to do â€" and a burning desire to pull off a monstrous score that will save him from the workaday world.

He also wants his old life back. But his wife, Kim, has been doing some living of her own. To supplement the returns from her tattoo business, she has taken on a little crime, in partnership with Harvey's old friend, Matt Singh. In fact, they are planning a million-dollar diamond robbery when Matt is gunned down in a mall parking lot.

This seems fortuitous for Harvey, but Kim has other plans. She's now head-over-heels in lust with Sandy, a younger man with a very private life. Sandy seems equally smitten with the planned diamond heist. But to pull it off they need a getaway driver.

Harvey doesn't need to be asked twice. He still wants things the way they were and, to him, the only thing standing in his path is Sandy.

Meanwhile, Willows and Parker, now married, are dealing with birth, parenthood â€" and other crucial matters.
