Day of the Tiger (Carlos McCrary Mysteries Book 5)

Description

Opposites Attract, Right? That must be why a tiger like Tank Tyler keeps bailing out a sheep like Al Rice. Tank is a wealthy investment manager and member of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Tank’s friend Al Rice is the polar opposite: a miserable failure who has been drowning in drugs and self-pity since being kicked off his college football team sixteen years ago.

Tank Tyler and Al Rice share a secret that ruined Al’s life and turned Tank Tyler’s dreams into nightmares for years, in spite of his outward success. Now Al Rice has been targeted by Monster Moffett, a loan shark who crushed Al’s hand with a ball-peen hammer when he couldn’t pay his debt. Moffett even threatened Al’s mother, Doraleen Rice. Fearing for her life, Doraleen begs Tank Tyler for help. Tank hires Private Investigator Chuck McCrary to protect both Doraleen and Al.

Then Al goes missing. When Chuck searches for him, he uncovers a trail of human sex trafficking and forced prostitution. Moffett’s organized crime gang kidnaps Doraleen Rice to hold as collateral for her son’s debt. Al swears to turn his life around, but he’s promised that before. Chuck will need more than brawn, balls, and bullets to sort out this mess.
