Twice the Trouble

DEBUT Noland Twice has been a football player, a cop, and a convict. Now he’s a private investigator who often makes bad decisions. His latest one is agreeing to look into a case for defense attorney Faith Carlton, despite his gut feeling that he’ll have to make some illegal moves as he investigates. Carlton’s client is a construction firm, one of whose partners is on trial for embezzlement, and another, named Valkenburg, has disappeared with millions. The court has given Carlton 14 days to find Valkenburg and the money. Twice suspects that the construction firm’s other partners are crooked too and trying to get their hands on the money, but they’re scared of their partner in Brazil. When Twice tracks Valkenburg to his apartment, he finds a body, but it’s not Valkenburg’s. Desperate to keep on his timeline, Twice contacts a Russian friend to help him hide the body. Someone is always one step ahead of Twice as he clashes with law enforcement, embezzlers, gangsters, and killers. But he has one ace up his sleeve: his father, a cop now in prison, and his well-placed friends.
