Synopsis

"Ash McKenna is my favorite kind of hero, a tough guy romantic with a smart mouth and a dark past."―Chelsea CainThe final book in Rob Hart's acclaimed Ash McKenna series shows that Ash can go home again...but it might cost him everything.Amateur private investigator Ash McKenna is home. After more than a year on the road he's ready to face the demons he ran away from in New York City. And he’s decided what he wants to do with his life: Become a private investigator, for real. Licensed and everything. No more working as a thug for hire. But within moments of stepping off the plane, Ginny Tonic, the drag queen crime lord who once employed him―and then tried to have him killed―asks to see him. One of her newest drag queen soldiers has gone missing, and Ginny suspects she’s been ensnared by the burgeoning heroin scene on Staten Island. Ginny wants Ash to find her. Because he’s the best, and because he knows Staten Island, his home borough. Ash is hesitant―but Ginny’s offer of $10,000 is enough to get him on his feet. And the thought of a lost kid and a bereft family is too much for him to bear. He accepts, and quickly learns there’s something much bigger at play. Some very dangerous people are vying for control of the heroin trade on Staten Island, which is recording the highest rate of overdose deaths in the city. As Ash navigates deadly terrain, he finds his most dangerous adversary might be his own past. Because those demons he ran away from have been waiting for him to come back.

A great end to a whirlwind series.......more

Goodreads review by Sue Em on September 05, 2018

Ash McKenna's a modern prototype of a Chandleresque P.I. which works for me as I am a fan. He's a mixture of knight-in-tarnished armor, unrepentant tough guy and someone wanting to change his priorities and his life. Returning to NYC, specifically Staten Island, after sojourns in Georgia, Portland,......more

Potters Field Mysterious Book Report No. 348 by John Dwaine McKenna Three years ago, a new writing talent appeared and lit up the hard-boiled crime scene like machine-gun fire on a moonless night. The author’s name was Rob Hart, and his character, Ash McKenna, is a tough guy who—like Raymond Chandler’s......more

Goodreads review by Laertes on February 04, 2025

The strongest installment in the Ash McKenna series and - alas! - the last. Loved every chapter, every paragraph, every line. Hardboiled mystery with a likeable hero.

Goodreads review by B. on July 11, 2018

As with the prior installment of the Ash McKenna series, I was unable to put this book down, and tore through it over the course of two long New Jersey/Manhattan commutes and another hour or so at home. Hart's prose is as tight and propulsive as ever and provides a neat resolution to Ash's overall s......more
