Description
San Diego private investigator Rick Cahill’ s past comes back to haunt him when he’ s at his most vulnerable. His wife, Leah, has fled with their daughter, Krista, to her parents’ home in Santa Barbara. She fears Rick’ s violent outbursts brought on by his potentially fatal brain disorder, CTE— and she doesn’ t trust that he’ ll ever be able to tame his manic desire to bring his own brand of justice to an unjust world.
Rick desperately wants to reunite his family and help provide for Krista’ s future— one he fears he won’ t be alive to see. A jumpstart toward that future appears in the form of Peter Stone, Rick’ s longtime enemy. Stone offers Rick $50,000 to find a woman he claims can save his life with a kidney transplant. Rick can’ t pass up the chance to buttress Krista’ s future.
When what seems like a simple missing person case spirals out of control into cryptocurrency machinations, dead bodies, and an outgunned faceoff, Rick is forced to battle evil from his past. Can he stay alive long enough to see his family one last time?
Advance Praise
Praise for Odyssey’s End
“Author Matt Coyle gives another smart, tightly-written, faster-than-a-speeding bullet tale of lust, danger and greed.” —Joe Ide, best-selling author of Fixit
“Matt Coyle is the best contemporary writer continuing the lone P.I. tradition.” —Naomi Hirahara, Mary Higgins Clark Award-winning author
“Coyle’s prose is vivid and tight, his characters are well drawn, and the tension rarely lets up in this fast-paced tale of duplicity and betrayal.” —Associated Press
“Coyle cleverly connects his plot threads, packing in a few strong surprises, but his real triumph is in wringing pathos from Cahill’s plight.”—Publishers Weekly
“[A] consistently entertaining and award-winning series.” —Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine
Praise for the Rick Cahill PI Crime Series
“Matt Coyle is on a roll. Doomed Legacy has all the best of a classic PI novel delivered with the pacing of a thriller. A man driven by discovering the truth no matter the cost, Rick Cahill is the type of human you’d want on your side when things go badly, and his dogged, and at times reckless, pursuit of justice makes for fabulous fiction.” —Danielle Girard, USA Today best-selling author
“With Wrong Light, Matt Coyle is on top of his game and Rick Cahill ascends to the top ranks of the classic private eyes. Coyle knows the secret: digging into a crime means digging into the past. Sometimes it’s messy, sometimes it’s dangerous—always it’s entertaining. You’ll find all of that and more in this great read.” —Michael Connelly, New York Times best-selling author
* “Rick Cahill’s extreme physical and emotional vulnerability is on full display in Shamus Award-winner Coyle’s superior eighth outing [Last Redemption] . . . Contemporary hard-boiled PI novels don’t get any better than this.” —Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
“Matt Coyle is the rightful heir to the PI crown worn by Robert Parker & Ross Macdonald.” —Lee Goldberg, New York Times best-selling author
“Matt Coyle knocks it out of the park with Last Redemption. Just when you think Coyle has reached the top of his game—he does one better.” —Allison Brennan, New York Times best-selling author
“[Blind Vigil is] a tense, fast-paced, hard-boiled mystery told in a clear, unadorned style.” —ABC News
“Matt Coyle is one of the finest PI authors in the business. Last Redemption proves it. Superb!” —Bruce Robert Coffin, award-winning author of the Detective Byron Mysteries
“[Blind Vigil is] emotionally wrenching and haunting . . . a visceral tour de force of the PI tradition.” —T. Jefferson Parker, New York Times best-selling author
“Sharp, suspenseful, and poignant, Lost Tomorrows hits like a breaking wave and pulls readers into its relentless undertow. Matt Coyle is at the top of his game.” —Meg Gardiner, Edgar Award-winning author
“Award-winning Matt Coyle has done it again. This series is a must-read for me. He’s at the top of his game with Doomed Legacy—a great, fast-paced story, full of danger and surprise.” —Deadly Pleasures Mystery Magazine
"Blind Vigil is a masterful blend of hard-boiled, noirish, slow-burning, yet fast-paced storytelling, proving—once again—that Matt Coyle has earned his place as one of the great authors of classic PI fiction.” —Robin Burcell, New York Times best-selling author
“An equation involving everyone from the Russian mob to Irish Travelers to ex-cops, Coyle’s Wrong Light is a fascinating, fast-paced, spidery-webbed novel.” —Reed Farrel Coleman, New York Times best-selling author
“The ending is a symphony of rage and violence—and some darned good one-liners.” —Booklist
“Last Redemption deserves more stars than has the Hollywood Walk of Fame.” —Bookreporter
