Jules Cassidy, P.I.

Starting over is never easy, but when Jules is forced out of the FBI, he has the help of his good friend, former Navy SEAL Sam Starrett, as he takes on his first case as head of the Troubleshooters personal security firm's brand new Los Angeles office.

Jules's assignment: Locate a woman named Emily Johnson, the unexpected heir to a Hollywood producer's massive fortune. The weird twist? The producer's estranged son is the client who's hired Jules and Sam to find this mysterious stranger who'll inherit what should have been his-millions he claims he does not need or want.

Still, the investigation should be simple despite the lack of information about this woman with a very common name. But Jules knows that with Sam's help, he'll find her, even if they have to knock on the door of every Emily Johnson in the greater Los Angeles area.

Best of all? This easy case is danger-free.

But as the WTFs surrounding the investigation start piling up rapidly and haphazardly, it soon becomes clear to both Jules and Sam that someone's gunning for their mysterious and hard-to-find Emily-and for them, as well.

In a novel that's part mystery, part drama, part comedy and all heart, Brockmann's long-awaited return to the Troubleshooters world also delivers the story of Jules Cassidy's first-ever investigation as a seventeen-year-old high school student.

Shortly after his father's untimely death, Jules and his mother move back to her rural Connecticut hometown, where Jules begins his senior year as the "new kid." It's not long before he is immersed in solving a crime-someone is attacking girls at weekend parties. With the help of a new group of friends, Jules is determined to catch and bring the violent perpetrator to justice.

But life doesn't always go according to plan...
