Det.Insp. Todd "Ratso" Holtom #4
Deadly Shadows
A London businessman is executed in his home. The killer vanishes without a trace.
Detective Todd “Ratso” Holtom is called in to investigate — and quickly discovers nothing about Seb Marston’s life was simple. His wife runs a powerful pharmaceutical empire. His business partner is terrified for his life.
And one name keeps Hubert Portilla, a so-called Mexican diplomat in New York with ties to global scams.
From London to Poland, Scotland to the U.S., Ratso chases the truth across borders—dodging threats from gangsters, crossing paths with the FBI and French police, and hunting both an assassin and a master conman before more blood is spilled.
But in a world of diplomatic secrets and deadly deception, the truth hides in the shadows.
And Ratso shadows kill.

Deadly Shadows is a gripping story that kept me glued to the pages from beginning to end. Detective Inspector Todd “Ratso” Holtom is a no nonsense cop that is extremely thorough and keeps no stone unturned. He has a great team that he works with, and everyone helps in finding out the truth of what is going on, making sure the criminals pay for their crimes. The dynamics and twists and turns made this a very exciting book that I couldn't put down. I really enjoyed this book, and I highly recommend it!
