Book ~ "When Hell Freezes Over" - Rick Blechta (2006)

From Amazon.com ~ Michael Quinn is stopped at a red light one night when his passenger door is wrenched open and a woman jumps in. Three thugs are pelting down the street after her, so he races off into the night, but doing so sets in motion a chain of events, which ultimately turns his life upside down. First, a close friend is brutally murdered and then the girl disappears. He hires a private investigator who begins to discover she is not what she seems. The situation becomes deadly serious when the thugs come looking for Michael. Only by finding her can he answer the questions and maybe, just maybe, get out of a hole that's getting bigger with every passing moment.

What attracted me to this book was (1) it was a mystery and (2) it partly takes place in Toronto. As it turns out, Quinn lives a couple blocks SW of us (if he was real).

I enjoyed the writing style of this author. It was fast-paced and kept my interest. I'd recommend this book and am looking forward to reading others by this author.
