Fear of the Dark Book Summary and Study Guide

Detailed plot synopsis reviews of Fear of the Dark


This is the story of a PI who is not sure if private investigating is a job he still wants to do, it's dangerous and he likes breathing. Despite all this, once he's on the job, he's desperate to do it right no matter what the cost. Dar Anthony is very good at describing the City of Los Angeles and it's gangs and does a wonderful, but not overly descriptive job of Gunner's first sexual encounter in a long time with the sexy woman who hires him to find out who really killed her husband. I liked the book and will be reading more of his stories.
