Private Detective
GOODBYE IS FOREVER
Gregory Stout
Jackson Gamble Mysteries #5
Nashville PI Jackson Gamble has had all manner of clients and cases during his long career as a private investigator, but never a client like the one involving convicted triple-murderer Harvey Harris. Until recently a death-row inmate, and now dying of untreatable cancer, Harvey wants to see his daughter one more time before his time runs out. The search seems simple enough, but the girl has been missing ten years, and the case quickly goes into the weeds as Gamble’s search takes him on a three-state chase that involves him with a beautiful woman, two murders, and a conclusion that even an experienced PI like Gamble never quite sees coming.

"Greg Stout’s latest Jackson Gamble story, Goodbye is Forever, is an old-style page-turner, infused with the color of the Nashville music scene and characters engaging in rich, often humorous, banter. Best of all, Stout offers up multiple subplots that keeps Gamble one step behind, until he’s not. A great read with a satisfying ending that fans of Stout expect."

"Greg Stout’s latest Jackson Gamble mystery Goodbye is Forever grabs you from the first page and takes you on a ride through the backstreets and music world of Nashville. When Gamble is asked to find the daughter of a dying man, his only clue is a ten-year-old poster for the Nashville band she was in. He locates one of the band members only to arrive after the man has been murdered. The stakes are high and the time is short to find the woman before her father dies. The book is a number one page-turner. And Gamble is the one to watch. Five stars!"
