Dying Embers by Robert Bailey
Art Hardin, who first appeared in Private Heat, is a retired counter intelligence officer who now earns his living as a private investigator. He spends most of his time on the small perfectly safe jobs a private eye can making a living on. But this new case is something altogether different: shortly after he agrees to locate the old flame of a wealthy industrialist, she turns up dead... and his client is charged with the murder. To add insult to injury, Hardin's PI license is revoked. Now, in order to catch the suspect and clear his name, hardin must play a deadly game of cat and mouse. Character driven and masterfully plotted, Dying Embers really cooks.
[Robert Bailey] ably mixes action and exposition, as Hardin's seemingly simple quest spills over in all directions as the body count rises* Publishers Weekly *

Robert Bailey's first novel, Private Heat, was chosen for the prestigious Josiah W. Bancroft Award. Bailey knows wherof he writes--he is an award-winning combat pistol shot and a Vietnam-era veteran. He retired from the military as a reservist and a field grade officer after four years of active duty, then spent five years as a corporate security director in the Detroit area, and twenty years as a licensed private investigator.
