The Shadow File (Bryson Wilde Thriller 2)

The Shadow File (Bryson Wilde Thriller 2) Review

Bryson Wilde, investigator for hire, lives in an edgy world where the dames are dangerous, cigarettes dangle from ruby-red lips and the nights are hotter than whiskey-soaked jazz. In this riveting noir thriller from R.J. Jagger, The Shadow File (402 p.), Senn-Rae Vaughn, Esq., a beautiful young solo attorney, hires Wilde to conduct an investigation on behalf of her client that is so dangerous and against the rules that she can’t even tell her client it is being done. Almost immediately both Senn-Rae and Wilde are thrust into a staggering thriller of unimaginable consequences. Jagger's noir thrillers featuring private investigator Bryson Wilde (The Scroll Lawyers, The Shadow File, A Way With Murder) can be read in any order.
