Aaron Gunner takes on two cases that both result in violence towards him and his associate. He’s doing surveillance on a cheating husband who just happens to be a local councilman. He hires a young photography student to do the surveillance while he focuses on a missing person case. The missing person case quickly escalates into a guy with a false identity, a disgraced journalist. This journalist has been targeted by a group of black militants for his behavior. Lots of action with twists and distractions to include an amorous hookup with a client and taking on a puppy while being shot at and almost burned to death. The FBI gets involved. And the militants have a score to settle with Gunner. I’m ready for the next adventure.

#5 in the Black Las Angeles private investigator Aaron Gunner mystery series.
A man, Elroy Covington, disappears at the Million Man March in Washington, D.C. only to reappear and then disappear agin in Los Angeles. The man’s sister hires Gunner to locate her brother and he soons finds himself tangling with black extremists and the FBI. This isn't just another missing persons case as there is much more to Covington than Gunner has been told which leads to more danger than he realizes.
On top of this, Gunner is all ready involved in investigating an L.A. city councilman which has turned into a life threatening investigation.
So there’s two mysteries rolled into one novel whose end caught me by surprise.

Gave up 45 pages in. The constant swearing was so annoying that I couldn't even get into the story itself.

A nice mystery series. Not a thriller, just mystery. This is the first one I have read.
P.S. - 2 stars is a good rating for a genre book.
