In the bestselling tradition of Robert B. Parker and Elmore Leonard comes Mark Cohen’s second novel featuring Colorado private eye and former Marine Corps JAG Pepper Keane.
It doesn’t seem like a bad idea when Pepper Keane agrees to steal a champion bluetick coonhound from the leader of a sadistic biker gang. After all, the dog also belongs to the biker’s missing girlfriend, Karlynn Slade. And though Karlynn stole three hundred grand from him, she’s not entering the Witness Protection Program without the prized pooch. Karlynn’s attorney asks Pepper to keep an eye on her until the feds are ready to help her disappear. But when Pepper also accepts payment from the biker to “look” for Karlynn, things get a little tricky. Soon, Pepper loses Karlynn, the biker puts a price on his head, gangs in every direction are after him, and there’s still an unsolved murder that’s begging for his attention....

      Despite the lack of the underlying complex concept (fractal geometry) and the philosophical ponderings that distinguished Cohen's debut, The Fractal Murders
      (2004), this solid follow-up shows appealing new facets of rugged Colorado sleuth Pepper Keane. Keane's old law firm hires him to dognap a champion bluetick coonhound belonging to Karlynn Slade, the estranged wife of the unsavory leader of an outlaw biker gang, as well as to baby-sit Karlynn until she can enter a federal witness protection program. The job gets harder when Karlynn disappears; dicier when her biker husband hires Keane to find her; and deadlier when her trail intersects with one bearing the scent of an unsolved murder from Keane's past. Many of the intriguing characters who assisted Keane previously reappear, including his love interest, math professor Jane Smyers, and his friend and martial arts mentor, Scott McCutcheon. Though Keane makes some difficult choices in morally ambiguous situations, his encounters with bikers, skinheads and survivalists leave little time for the kind of rumination that made The Fractal Murders
      so distinctive. Agent, Sandra Bond.

      Independent Colorado PI Pepper Keane ("The Fractal Murders"), ex-lawyer and ex-military man, steals a valuable bluetick hound from its drug-dealing/biker owner because the guy's common-law wife, Karlynn, has left him but loves the dog. Karlynn promises to testify against the biker but escapes Pepper's protective custody and heads for parts unknown. In unlucky pursuit, Pepper takes time to follow up on the years-ago shooting death of his cousin by white supremacists. Laid-back, sensitive, and sympathetic, Pepper handles all the angles. First-rate prose, excellent narrative: highly recommended. Cohen lives in Nederland, CO.
