Torrance Grayson has forged a solid independent journalism career with help from his friend and mentor, Felix Salinger, and he's relished being the face of the Salinger crew, exposing the corruption of the powerful while keeping his friends safe in their anonymity. But being face to face with the worst in the world takes its toll, and when Tor has a moment of weakness, it's the Salingers who come to bail him out.
During his recovery, Tor makes friends with the household's confident, charismatic young chef, Marco. Their quiet conversations make Marco more and more reluctant to confront Tor on the grave mistake the man is about to make in his current exposé—a mistake that can harm Marco's loud, boisterous family irrecoverably.
Tor is more than willing to listen—and to correct any mistakes. He's seen graphic proof that he's not infallible, and he'll go to any lengths to avert tragedy. But as Tor works toward the truth of what's happening with Marco's family, Marco begins to develop deep suspicions about the people they both work for. Torrance Grayson is in deep with the Salingers, and Marco isn't sure he should know any more than necessary about people who seem to be great bosses but shady citizens.
In order to help Marco, Tor needs to trust him—and that means to trust him with the truth of the Salinger Crew, as well as with his heart. But in a world of capers and crimefighting, trust, it appears, is worth more than gold and jewels. Tor can expose crime and injustice with impunity, but can he expose his heart to Marco, a man who desperately wants in?

Wow, this next story comes on the heels of Book #5 The Tech. The gangs return from the Caribbean still a bit battered, licking their wounds and their wounded egos from injuries sustained fighting on a Caribbean Island looking into the death of Stirling and Molly’s adoptive parents.
Book #6 The Face Man, features Torrance Grayson who we have met as the investigative reporter and a friend of our Salinger family. Tor is a loner, working to unearth bad people and posting them to the air waves helping the community.
But loners are not left without heart, and the death of a friend’s daughter was the un doing of this man. Asked by his friend to look for his child and then finding her body, blue from the cold, in an alley by a dumpster, shattered his soul. Alcohol became his food of choice.
The family responded missing him, finding him weeks deep in pizza boxes and Johnny Walker bottles and dragged him off to his room in their large home, to make him shower, eat food and play video games and heal. Waking later than the gang who went about their daily business, Tor went to the kitchen finding solace in conversations with the young chef Marco while eating breakfast. It became the best part of his day.
Marco shared something about his Uncle having business issues as his two cousins shared this information with him. Tor looks into this and sees some unanswered questions. Bringing this to the Family is easy, making Marco trust in the Family and not fear them is first.
Torrance Grayson is in deep with the Salingers, and Marco isn’t sure he should know any more than necessary about people who seem to be great bosses but shady citizens.
As a team, each takes their part in what they do best. Amy Lane. again creates a wonderful story with over 400 pages of good people banding together, fighting for the minority with great risk to themselves. We cannot say everything ever goes smoothly remember FUBAR !
AND it ended with the name Andres Kadjic and my heart stopped…..
