Two and a half years ago, Michael Carmody made the biggest mistake of his life. Thanks to the Salinger crew, he has a second chance. Now he’s working as their mechanic and nursing a starry-eyed crush on the crew’s stoic suit, insurance investigator and spin doctor Carl Cox.
Carl has always been an almost-ran, so Michael’s crush baffles him. When it comes to the Salingers, he’s the designated wet blanket. But watching Michael forge the life he wants instead of the one he fell into inspires him. In Michael’s eyes, he isn’t an almost-ran—he just hasn’t found the right person to run with. And while the mechanic and the suit shouldn’t have much to talk about, suddenly they’re seeking out each other’s company.
Then the Salingers take a case from their past, and it’s all hands on deck. For once, behind-the-scenes guys Michael and Carl find themselves front and center. Between monster trucks, missing women, and murder birds, the case is a jigsaw puzzle with a lot of missing pieces—but confronting the unknown is a hell of a lot easier when they’re side by side.

This Fourth book in The Long Con adventures, gives ‘The Parents’ some down time, for them to let the ‘kids’ deal with the adventure and they deal only with Josh and his cancer.
Felix and Danny and Julia, find out that Josh’s paternal Dad is no longer alive BUT he has an Uncle, one Leon de Rossi very much alive.…He could be someone who might help with donating platelets, which is what is needed to help save Josh.
Carl Cox is “The Suit” who helped find and motivate Uncle de Rossi to come to America with his two children on spring break to help Josh. Now Carl is tasked with taking on the murder of Julia’s lover Matteo. Now this adventure will be run by all ‘the kids’…..
In his infinite sleuthing Carl has opened up a very large can of worms as to why Josh’s father is dead and why an employee of his company disappeared at that same time. With that mystery he finds hidden secrets that involve the insurance company Serpentus , that Carl is employed by.
Michael Carmody was a character in the last book; having being with Chuck involving a bank robbery. Chuck helping him get away from his brothers abuse, but unfortunately doing a two year jail sentence. When released, Chuck had him come and work as a car mechanic for the crew. When he got there all Michael saw was Carl Cox.
This story was incredible, every one using their talents was essential! It was a mystery, an education on birds; falcons, eagles etc. and best of all a love story.
Again I cannot say enough about this series
