Wrong Light
(Adobe EPUB eBook, Kindle Book, OverDrive Read)
Perfect for hard-boiled PI and Noir fans who like a tainted hero living by his own code
Naomi Hendrix's sexy voice hovering over the radio waves isn't the only thing haunting the Southern California nights. A demented soul is stalking Naomi, hiding in the shadows of the night, waiting for the right moment to snatch her and fulfill a twisted fantasy.
When Naomi's radio station hires PI Rick Cahill to protect Naomi and track down the stalker, he discovers that Naomi is hiding secrets about her past that could help unmask the man. However, before Rick can extract the truth from Naomi, he is thrust into a missing person's case—an abduction he may have unwittingly caused. The investigating detective questions Rick's motives for getting involved and pressures him to stop meddling.
While Rick pursues Naomi's stalker and battles the police, evil ricochets from his own past and embroils Rick in a race to find the truth about an old nemesis. Is settling the score worth losing everything?
A must-read for fans of Michael Connelly's Harry Bosch and Robert Crais' Elvis Cole

October 8, 2018
A mysterious stalker known as Pluto is fixated on sultry-voiced Naomi, the star of a radio talk show based in San Diego, Calif., in Coyle’s suspenseful if flawed fifth novel featuring PI Rick Cahill (after 2017’s Blood Truth). Naomi doesn’t take Pluto’s threats seriously, but Rick does when someone breaks into Naomi’s car and steals her pistol and the car’s registration. Rick’s attempts to protect her are sidetracked when Tatiana Volkov, the daughter of a Russian mafia boss, who has a hold over him from an earlier book, orders him to stake out mobster Peter Stone’s house daily from dusk until midnight. If he refuses or fails, Tatiana will have him killed. It makes no sense, but he has no choice. Rick asks fellow PI Moira MacFarlane to cover Naomi while he watches Stone. The Stone surveillance takes several puzzling turns that portend nothing good for Cahill, and the body count rises as a killer closes in on Naomi. Distinctive characters and a powerful narrative compensate for the implausibly complex plot of this grim tale. Agent: Kimberley Cameron, Kimberley Cameron & Assoc.

Naomi Hendrix has a late-night talk-radio show in Southern California and an ocean of lonely guys addicted to her breathy voice. Don't fight the lonely night, she purrs. Of course, there's a snake in the garden, a fruitcake convinced, Our hearts are twinned. Then the threat. If Naomi doesn't mention him on air, it will awaken my rage. The station manager consults Coyle's reluctant PI hero, Rick Cahill. Readers will be anticipating a fine, creepy tour of obsession frosted with confrontations and hairbreadth escapes, but that's not exactly what they get. Cahill is dogged by second thoughts, sometimes rightly so: honoring a promise to one source means another is killed. But the narrative is frequently stalled, and that may be the author's plan. He's not really writing a private-eye novel, where the good guys, however battered, finally win. No, this is an exercise in pure noir, with chaos at the end as well as the beginning. The dead are still dead, and there's no end to the pain. For the Jim Thompson crowd, who want their noir straight, no chaser.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2018, American Library Association.)
