Description
Former baseball player turned private eye Eli Sharpe knows two things better than anyone: how to strike out and how to ask uncomfortable questions. When a beautiful sports agent named Veronica Craven walks into his Asheville, North Carolina apartment and asks him to find her missing client -- a teenage baseball prodigy named Almario "Go Go" Gato -- Eli figures it's a simple case. But the deeper he digs, the more dangerous the game becomes.
Gato is a Cuban defector with a million-dollar arm, movie-star looks, and a history of tragedy. His parents drowned during their escape to the U.S., leaving him and his twin sister Maria to start over in the South. Now the golden boy has vanished without a trace. His sister swears he didn't write the strange email she received. His teammates despise him. His girlfriend's lying. And his agent -- the woman who hired Eli -- is hiding something behind those emerald-green eyes.
As Eli follows a trail that winds from minor-league ballparks and smoky dive bars to luxury penthouses and the dark edges of Asheville's underbelly, he uncovers a tangled web of lust, money, ambition, and betrayal. What begins as a missing-persons case becomes a deadly investigation into how far people will go for fame, fortune, and forgiveness.
Smart, funny, and haunted, Eli Sharpe is a new kind of detective -- equal parts Philip Marlowe and Bull Durham, a man whose best days might be behind him but who still refuses to stop swinging. With razor-sharp dialogue, vivid Southern settings, and a twist ending worthy of a curveball you never saw coming, Go Go Gato is a home run for fans of Harlan Coben, Robert B. Parker, and Lawrence Block.
