Lew Fonesca
Lew Fonesca is a guy just trying to get along.
When his wife died in a senseless auto wreck, he got up and left his old life–and when his car gave out in sunny Sarasota, Florida, he stayed. He takes small process-serving gigs and various odd jobs helping people out, and he tries, although maybe not as hard as he should, to fix the gaping hole in his heart.
But for a man who just wants to ease through life without any complications, Lew has a pretty full plate. The shrink that Lew’s been seeing for more than a year wants him to finally dump all the grief that he’s carrying around so he can have more than a half-life. And Sally, the pretty single mom and social worker who has helped Lew in the past, wants to deepen their friendship.
On top of that, a local minister asks him to find a town council member who has gone missing just before a crucial vote that could ruin a struggling community, and a distraught father comes to Lew to track down his wife and two kids, who Lew suspects ran off with the man’s best friend.
When people start showing up dead, Lew knows he’s in way over his head–and this time he may not be able make it all come out okay.
