Deadly Flare-Up: A Richard McCord Novel

He Felt Threatened!

Sex, drugs and missing money … not your ordinary trip to the dentist! An ex-con, a stripper, a psychologist and a dentist, all have one thing in common ─ former Southern California D.A., turned private investigator, Richard McCord.

Surviving numerous challenges over the years, both personally and professionally, Richard McCord discovers he's again facing a predicament. What appeared to be a simple case quickly explodes into multiple murders, a Mexican drug cartel connection, temptation from a vivacious exotic dancer, and maybe even a serious relationship with a beautiful therapist.

McCord is never one to walk away from danger, but he is now struggling with his emotions. At times, the old comfort of a bottle of booze seems mighty inviting, as he walks a thin line of vulnerability. Will he stay strong ─ or give in to his weaknesses and end up hating himself?
