Blurb:
Detective
MacFarland—"Mac" to his friends—was kicked off the Denver police
force for a variety of reasons, most of which came out of the mistrial of the
man who murdered his wife. After a couple of years on the streets, MacFarland
is getting back on his feet by operating a small hot dog cart. He doesn’t make
much money, gives a lot of his product to his former homeless friends, and
studies language CDs in his spare time. He's put his detective days behind him,
and he's happy that way.
But
then MacFarland is approached by a high-priced lawyer to help prove a woman
innocent. A fishing buff has been found murdered and the wife is the prime
suspect. With the evidence stacked against her, and someone destroying
evidence, can MacFarland find the real killer and free the innocent woman?

Review by Rochelle:
I received
a free copy of this book from a mutual friend of the author, and I put off
reading it for fear I wouldn’t like it. I needn’t have worried. The Avid Angler: The Hot Dog Detective
grabbed me on the first page and wouldn’t let me go.
“Mac” MacFarland
flew out of control in the courtroom when the millionaire who killed his wife
was acquitted on a technicality, and spiraled into depression and alcoholism
afterward. Kicked off the police force, the detective found himself living on
the streets among “the invisible people”—the homeless, the true have-nots who
are even ignored by those who have only a very little. Crawling out of his
hole, Mac gets sober, acquires a hot dog stand that he uses to feed his
homeless friends, and makes enough to keep a roof over his head. Until he
starts to investigate the death of a fisherman whose wife, he believes is
falsely accused.
The Avid Angler: The Hot Dog Detective takes us into the
worlds of the courts, the police, and the homeless. Ms. Adams sees “the
invisible people,” and shows us who they are, what they feel, and why some of
them live on the streets. At the same time, she delivers a taut, twisty,
suspenseful thriller with a bit of unrequited love. Hopefully someday Mac will
realize he’s not alone. Oh yes—The Hot Dog Detective is a series, and each book
stands alone! Thank you, Ms. Adams!
