"Got a gun?"

With those words, David Allen Crockett, a retired police officer who simply wanted to be left alone, finds his seclusion shattered by his friend, therapist Ruby LaCost. At Ruby's request, Crockett agrees to teach one of her clients, Rachael Moore, how to defend herself with a handgun.

During the course of those lessons, Crockett and Rachael begin an intimate relationship. When Rachael is found dead from an apparent suicide, Crockett is devastated and tries to slink back into his self-imposed seclusion. But things get complicated when Crockett is contacted by Rachael's aunt, who believes the suicide was staged and claims she has the name of the murderer. Together, Crockett and Ruby begin an investigation that leads them into a world of treachery, deceit, and death.

David R. Lewis does an incredible job introducing readers into one of the best series I've read in a very long time. Fear of Father: Call Me Crockett is a signature novel. I laughed, I hurt, I felt anger, I often times wanted to cry, and I cheered on the good guys in this book that enveloped all of my feelings and utilized each one at just the right moment as the novel progressed. The author IS one of the best in the business.

Incredible Book

As a fan of Lewis's books, I really didn't know how this might be. But his writing and reading of the story were both great. I loved all the Trail series, but .this one came up to the same standards I thought it would be.

Much better than what I thought
