But the lead comes with a personal sting: the involvement of his estranged brother, Logan, an ex-con recruited into the shepherding of human trade. The only way for Logan to shed his demons is to come clean. For Lancaster and Daniels, that means being drawn, secret by secret, into a dangerous underground world.With time running out, three damaged pasts will collide; more secrets will spill; and Lancaster, Daniels, and Logan will have to fight to save themselves first if they ever hope to find the girls alive.

I won this book in a goodreads drawing. A former cop who volunteers for The Adam Project goes to Florida to investigate a murder/kidnapping. A teen aged girl is abducted, and her grandmother killed.

Quotes

“Once again, Jim Swain has presented a fast-paced, intricately plotted, informative and ultimately pleasing investigative tale.” —Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine“No Good Deed, the second title in the Jon Lancaster & Beth Daniels Series, following The King Tides, is a blessing for crime thriller fans. It continues to build the shaky relationship between the highly engaging and original lead characters while exploring a heinous series of crimes in human trafficking. What’s happening is terrible, but the crafting of the tale is first rate. And the main characters, in values and style, are the ‘Odd Couple’ of crime fiction.” —Phil Jason, Florida Weekly reviewer“Swain’s characters are so real and so believable they jump off the pages and into the reader’s heart in an adventure you won’t want to miss.” —Cheryl Kravetz, Murder on the Beach Bookstore, Delray Beach, Florida
