This is the FIRST book in the Joe Tyler series.
If someone took your child, how soon would you stop looking for her? If someone accused your best friend of a terrible crime, when would you stop defending him?
Seven years after Joe Tyler’s daughter Elizabeth was abducted, he hasn’t stopped looking for answers, and he hasn’t forgotten the friend who stood by him as he lost his wife, his home, … wife, his home, and his career in his search. Now he’s been brought back to San Diego by the news that this friend has been arrested for beating up a teenage girl — a girl not much older than Elizabeth would be now.
Joe is convinced Chuck Winslow is innocent, but Chuck is in a coma and can’t explain what happened. And the more Joe hears about what Chuck’s been up to in the years he’s been gone, the less Joe recognizes his old friend. To find out the truth, he will have to face his ex-wife, his former bosses, and a hometown full of wealth, lies, and illicit privilege. When Chuck’s accuser goes missing, Joe must decide where his loyalties truly lie.

The whole series is hard to put down
Interested enough to read the sequel to see where this is going.
Loved it
It was interesting, but spread out of four short books. Could have been done in one, but then not able to sell books!
Keeps one coming back..
Thoroughly engaging! Not only entertaining, but well researched and informative. Like many of today’s literary offerings, this one is ‘part one of ****’. However, the author actually brings this ‘episode’ to a conclusion and at the same time entices you on to the next volume.
Good read.
It was a fast read. I didn’t want to put it down, but
had to, as I read it while commuting to and from work. I’m looking forward to reading the continuing saga of Joe Tyler.
Like reading T Jefferson Parker. Great read.
Jeff Shelby’s a Thread of Hope is about Joe’s abducted daughter. Pretty good story, but the editing was terrible. So many misused words and “my” instead of “his” or “hers”: made me crazy.
This is the first of eight books in this series. The first book is really long, 526 pages. I checked the other books and they get thinner as it goes along. …
I thoroughly enjoyed and couldn’t put it down until I finished. Now I want the next one. Immediately
