Detour Man
“His calloused hands scratched at her back. She knew this changed everything for her and him. Their worlds no longer black and white but bursting with color. If she had a drawing of this moment, she’d pin it to the refrigerator door forever.”
Private investigator Vinnie Briggs knows three things about his client Gunter Hoffman: he’s built like a superhero yet clings to a warped self-image of being puny; Despite his timid nature, he’s more than capable of extreme violence; he’s connected with two bodies in the morgue.
A witness to a murder entangles him in a terrorist plot. Vinnie and co-investigator Rita Light must prove Gunter’s innocence by any means: illegal, lying, and sex, to uncover the terrorists and save Gunter—and puts innocent lives at risk.
Gunter falls hard for Rita. Can his love conquer his fear? Can he forget his past years of troubled youth with Detour Man? Can he stop himself turning into the feared Detour Man?
