Retribution: A Lew Fonesca Novel by Stuart M. Kaminsky - Lean writing and a great mystery that will haunt you

Stuart Kaminsky, the veteran author of more than forty novels, has created a new P.I., Lew Fonesca. Lew is a world-weary guy who, after his wife died, got in a car and just drove until he wound up in front of a Dairy Queen in Sarasota, Florida. Now he makes his way amid bail jumpers and lost wives, solving the little cases and trying to get by while figuring out how to make the rest of his life make sense.

Lean writing and a great mystery that will haunt you
Kaminsky's books always get under my skin, even when I pick them up at the worst times - when I'm half-awake, feeling distracted or just not prepared to lose myself in a good book. Even so, I usually can't put down a Kaminsky novel until the very last page.
This time around, Lew Fonseca, a detective who's appeared in other Kaminsky novels, is trying to find out what happened to a young runaway named Adele. She is somehow connected to a very solitary and eccentric bestselling author and the loss of some valuable manuscripts.
The mystery in this one will certainly hold your interest but equally compelling is Kaminsky's style. His books are lean and taut, with no wasted words or "padding" to lessen the drama and suspense...yet somehow he manages to create complex, believable characters and compelling mysteries as well. I'm always amazed at how well he pulls it off, book after book. With books costing as much as they do (the paperback edition of this one set me back 6.99) you might as well spend your money on a book written by a writer who is this good. Then, of course, you're going to want to buy more of his books...but trust me, it'll be worth it.
