 "Ex security and criminal investigator Jake Vincent, and his wife Barbara built their dream home in the mountains. The small, quiet, resort-recreational community was the perfect place after Jake's hectic business career traveling the world under contract to government facilities, nuclear plants, military bases, and large industrial clients.

Jake was soon bored with the quiet life,and responded to their weekly newspaper's story about a seventeen year old missing persons cold case. Offering his pro-bono assistance to the local police brought some unexpected and dangerous threats from a person or persons unknown. The FBI is brought in as the crime of possible past multiple murders comes to light. 

Jake might have bitten off more than he can chew as his life is threatened. Police inspector Hannity and FBI agent Sam Jenkins play a major role in the case with too many suspects.

Here are two book reviews:

"I love a good who-done-it and this book certainly fits the bill. Once I started reading I had trouble putting it down. A great balance of mystery, drama, dialogue and just the right amount of humor, with a ring of truth to the experience of living in a small town. I'm looking forward to his next book." Kathleen Doerr, March 25, 2014.

"In a quiet mountain town, a seventeen year old cold case perks the interest of retired security investigator Jake Vincent. Amid the beauty of the conifer forest, Vincent looks to enliven his retirement by breathing life into the case of a missing couple. Soon he wakens the sleepy village, finding danger haunts his inquiries. The tranquil community harbors evil and danger as Vincent's own life is now targeted. With the FBI joining in, the investigator soon finds his retirement more exciting than he intended.

"Readers will find themselves able to envision small town community life, while relating to Vincent's unease with retirement, as an ever growing mystery unfolds. While the characters exhibit their small town attributes, they are far from stereo-typical stock people, allowing the cold case to spin off numerous suspects and complexities, which Vincent must maneuver. For those looking for an enjoyable, non-predictable mystery story to take them through a lazy afternoon, McGhee delivers. The only question at the end of the book is what mystery will Vincent face next in his mountain hideaway." Gary Van De Walker, April 29, 2014.
