Own

Elvis Cole is hired by television star Jodi Taylor to find her birth parents. In order to do this, he travels to Louisiana where he soon discovers that there's a lot more going on than just a routine "find the parents" investigation; too many people are too eager for him to leave it all alone.
Somebody has already started and maybe finished this investigation before he even left Los Angeles, which means, Jodi lied to him.
But the layers go even deeper and soon Elvis gets Joe Pike to join him on a path that will lead to a lot of violence.
This was a fast-paced and very enjoyable read. On occasion Elvis can be a bit too much of a wise cracker for me, but other then that no complaints, just enjoyment.
