Eye Strain — Richard C. Hale

All private eye Jaxon Jennings wanted was a vacation -- just a few days to lie under the warm Caribbean sun with a cold beer. A much-deserved break from tailing cheating spouses, ex-cons, and insurance scammers. But Jaxon's hopes for time off are upended when his friend Max's strange behavior lands the poor guy in the middle of an island murder investigation. Jaxon works hard, and fast, to clear his friend's name but makes a startling discovery: Max is a man with a dark past. Unfortunately, someone from that dark past wants Max in prison or dead or both -- along with anyone who tries to protect him. Desperate for answers, Jaxon races to save Max from a killer -- and a murder rap. Can Jaxon exonerate his friend in time, or will the killer find him first? Is Jaxon next on the hit list? From the first page of his latest Jaxon Jennings thriller, Eye Strain, author Richard C Hale mashes the gas and refuses to let up. A pulse-pounding manhunt that hooks you in and refuses to let go, Eye Strain will keep you guessing to the very end.
