A few days later his father suddenly dies, leaving Andy distraught, 22 million dollars richer, and attempting to solve two mysteries: where did his father get that kind of money and is there a connection to the Willie Miller case?

When he uncovers a decades old secret, it so shocking that it threatens everything he believes in and everyone he has ever loved.
David Rosenfelt's Summer Reading List
Gone for Good
by Harlan Coben
Coben gets better with each book, and I'm told he reaches a
new level in this one.
Widow's Walk
by Robert Parker
If Parker writes 4,000 Spenser books, I'll read all 4,000.
Put a Lid on It
by Donald Westlake
Westlake has a style all his own, and if I were good enough,
I would love to try and steal it some day. Nobody writes better characters.
City of Bones
by Michael Connelly
Harry Bosch is an extraordinary character, and Connelly's as
good a storyteller as there is.
The Godfather
by Mario Puzo
Because it's been at least three summers since I've read it.
