Dangerous Games (Jack Liffey Mysteries)

Jack's girlfriend Gloria persuades him to help find her missing niece, Luisa, who was last seen on a tiny reservation in the Owens Valley. Jack tracks her through the adult film and modeling industry of LA's seedier neighborhoods, where Luisa is punted back and forth by a series of would-be rescuers. Just when his investigation leads him to the burning hills of Malibu and an even riskier shootout, Maeve again manages to appear at a critical moment and may prove key in saving her Dad. The Boston Globe calls this eighth installment in the Jack Liffey Mysteries series "masterful."
