Once Is Never Enough

With his fortieth birthday looming on the horizon, Homicide Detective Lester Miller yearns for fatherhood and laments the puzzling split with the married woman he loved more than any other. Until recently, Lester's only goal was to recapture his love, the strikingly beautiful Cara, who possessed it all: charisma, intelligence, honesty, ambition and commitment to family. He concedes that this love is not to be and forges ahead to move his "colossal fiasco" of a life to a new plateau. But, his best-laid of plans to leave Chicago for a career with the FBI are suddenly derailed when a long-time friend, who saved his life nine years ago, needs him to return the favor. Sonny Newsome, a retired Chicago police commander and current owner of a once-thriving detective agency, has nowhere to turn and no one to go to except Lester and his top-notch skills. This mission hurls Lester back to the people he thought were history, namely his ex-wife Brenda and her new boyfriend, and precipitates life interrupting and altering circumstances that spiral beyond his control! Can Lester solve this mystery and still discover and claim what has been missing from his life?Shivers, Margie Gosa is the author of 'Once Is Never Enough', published 2006 under ISBN 9780974406626 and ISBN 0974406627.
