BFF Spells Murder

Jason McCord, a former private investigator, returns from a self-imposed exile in Bissau, New Guinea, to settle in Boca Raton, Florida. He meets Sheila Walker and falls into the kind of love we all wish for but seldom experience. He struggles whether to share his past with her and her son, Phil, as they become his new focus in life. Trouble begins as Phil tries to back out of a driving contract with Big Jim Horne, a prominent but unscrupulous Florida businessman and race team owner. At the same time while still in high school in Michigan, young Michael Ward and his two best friends, Aaron and Ja'rell, form MAJ Racing, a fledging but successful racing team. At their door of success knocks treachery disguised as opportunity. Lives unfold and intertwine as the past resurfaces and collides with the present through a perceived common enemy and an unknown delusionary mind. Dangerous situations develop which threaten to tear down the veil of hidden secrets and secret lives in this novel filled with friendship, alliances, deceit, betrayal, lust and love, but don't make assumptions.
