Deadly Flare-Up

A Richard McCord Novel

By: L. R. Pendleton

Narrated by: James Foster

He felt threatened....

Sex, drugs, and missing money...not your ordinary trip to the dentist! An ex-con, a stripper, a psychologist, and a dentist all have one thing in common - former Southern California D.A. turned private investigator, Richard McCord.

Surviving numerous challenges over the years, both personally and professionally, Richard McCord discovers he's again facing a predicament. What appeared to be a simple case quickly explodes into multiple murders, a Mexican drug cartel connection, temptation from a vivacious exotic dancer, and maybe even a serious relationship with a beautiful therapist.

McCord is never one to walk away from danger, but he's now struggling with his emotions. At times, the old comfort of a bottle of booze seems mighty inviting, as he walks a thin line of vulnerability. Will he stay strong, or give in to his weaknesses and end up hating himself?
