The Orphan

By Milton Bagby

Before he goes to the electric chair, Robert Lee Portis asks one last favor of ex-attorney Rick Burkhart. All Rick has to do is find Robert Lee's brother, pick up $46,000 in cash, and set up a trust fund for the six year old daughter Portis will leave behind. Rick reluctantly agrees--after all, how hard can it be? Then the brother turns up dead, his house trailer mysteriously burns to the ground, and the money is long gone. The harder Burkhart looks for the money, the more he paints a target on his own back. "A smooth, swift narrative, well drawn characters, and a plot that keeps you guessing as you go." -- New York Times #1 Bestselling Author Richard North Patterson. "Bagby is a brash and welcome voice on the crime fiction scene." Bestselling Author Scott Nicholson, author of "Liquid Fear."
