Brandt Dodson follows the success of the first two books in his Colton Parker Mystery series—Original Sin and Seventy Times Seven—with another intriguing story. Wealthy businessman Berger Hume is dying. And the one thing he wants most is the one thing his millions cannot buy—a relationship with the son he has never met. As Colton Parker, private investigator, searches to locate the son, he finds himself the target of threats from a powerful gang with ties that extend to high–level government. The twists of this case cause Colton to question his own values. Will he risk the one thing that matters most? And will this race against time become a race for his own life?
							“So far, The Root of All Evil is my favorite in the Colton Parker Mystery series. As a reader, I found myself gripped by the story and turning pages to find out what happens next. As a writer, I caught myself pausing to study Dodson’s techniques for sustaining suspense, for infusing realism into these pages, and for creating a realistic hero who, despite his flaws, is a likeable guy we care about. In this volume Brandt Dodson only improves his writing craft. Looking forward to the next volume in this series!” —Rick Barry, author of Gunner’s Run
