The Fitzgerald Ruse

The Fitzgerald Ruse by Mark de Castrique 250 pgs.

The second book in the series about Sam Blackman, an Iraqi War vet and amputee.  Sam has started his detective agency with Nakayla Robertson the woman he helped by solving the murder of her sister in the first book.  Nakayla and Sam are business partners and have a love connection as well.  This book is also set in Asheville, NC and the city and surrounding area is a character in the book.  This mystery also has a literary connection as an elderly woman asks Sam to help her return an original Fitzgerald manuscript to its rightful owner.  That is Fitzgerald as in F. Scott.  Murder and mayhem follow this first case but there is little doubt that Sam and Nakayla will figure it all out.  I liked this second entry in the series even better than the first and am looking forward to the third.
