Frank Marr knows crime in Washington, DC. A decorated former police detective, he retired early and now ekes a living as a private eye for a defense attorney. Frank Marr may be the best investigator the city has ever known, but the city doesn't know his dirty secret.
A long-functioning drug addict, Frank has devoted his considerable skills to hiding his usage from others. But after accidentally discovering a kidnapped teenage girl in the home of an Adams Morgan drug gang, Frank becomes a hero and is thrust into the spotlight. He reluctantly agrees to investigate the disappearance of another girl--possibly connected to the first--and the heightened scrutiny may bring his own secrets to light, too.
Christopher Ryan Grant narrated Frank and the other characters exceptionally well. Frank is a unique character in that you are on and off the fence about liking him. His position as a former cop turned PI gives him a bit of latitude in his investigative choices. The case he agrees to take puts him at risk with many which adds to the intensity of the novel. A fast paced story with a few twists that left me looking forward to what Frank Marr gets himself into next.

Sounds fascinating, I wonder does he kick his drug addiction eventually.
I do love a good PI mystery.
