Hearing a dying stranger call you by name would leave anyone full of questions. When it happens to private eye Leo Waterman, the more he learns about the late lottery winner’s rags-to-riches-to-ruination life, the more he wants not just answers but justice. That means a road trip to Idaho to find out how a good-hearted young man with millions got skinned–in more ways than one.
It’s all downhill from there as Leo gets roped into an ugly battle between elderly ranchers and a ruthless developer who knows how to make a killing. Money can’t buy happiness, but trying to take it from the wrong people could leave Leo a lot worse than miserable.

Summary
Overall When there is a breakin at the house next door, Leo Waterman chases the intruder and before the intruder dies he utters Leo’s name. Leo is determined to find the identify of the stranger and the trail keeps leading him into more trouble. The book is part of an established series about Leo Waterman written by Ford. The book is an enjoyable read and I plan to read other stories in this series. The author has created a witty main character. With the addition of Keith’s character, Leo has to interact with another peculiar acquaintance. The story has plenty of action and will keep you interested until the end.
