A Little Splash of Panache

By: Sticht, Walter F.

As he begins to heal from his traumatic injuries, private investigator Thomas Jourdan can't stay down for long because a new threat emerges that could shatter his fragile peace. His friendship with former reporter Dave Parker and his romantic relationship with FBI Agent Heather Danes is still blossoming. Feeling as if he is ready to get back to work, he takes on his newest client, his semi-estranged brother. An assistant district attorney with San Diego County, Mike Jourdan has been receiving mysterious death threats over the investigation of a missing college student and wants to know who is behind them.
At the same time, a bonus case comes to him: the conductor of the San Diego Symphony falsely accused of murder of one of his own musicians. Once again, Thomas Jourdan is compelled to seek justice. When both cases seem to intersect, everything begins to unravel again. He must use all his wits and abilities to not only protect his brother and the conductor, but worse still, confront an emerging serial killer he has run afoul of. He must navigate them all with his wit, toughness and intelligence while dealing with the challenges of his disability.

Still in the soft-boiled, cozy-adjacent style, the continuation of Thomas Jourdan's story and his personal arc as a private detective and a person reaches another level. But as the body count rises, will his determination be enough to stop a killer before it's too late? The events of these cases will test him, almost break him, force him to self-check and understand what his limitations are....
