Robert's Requiem

Montana Stone wants to start a new life on the Gulf Coast. She left her job as a crime analyst with the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department after her father was murdered during a burglary, a burglary she believes she could have prevented, and moved to White Sands, Alabama.

But soon after moving to White Sands, Tana, as she is known, is called upon by White Sands Police Chief Jett Jeanrette to help with an investigation. Tana struggles to work through her feelings for Jett and the investigations, finding herself in danger while she uncovers clues.

In Robert's Requiem, the second book in the Montana Stone Gulf Coast series after Bound to Die, Tana looks into the disappearance of White Sands Police Officer Robert Gulliford, who vanishes after reporting a mysterious barge on the Intracoastal Waterway in White Sands. Tana steps in to check out Robert's report and becomes embroiled in the dangerous investigation.

"Over the course of this thriller, Patten's prose is clear and active, with ample attention paid to character movement, setting, and pacing. Sometimes the tale proceeds a bit slower than usual for a thriller of this kind, but it never feels frivolous at any point, as sequels sometimes do. He also provides readers with a memorable cast of characters whose motivations feel consistently weighty and earned as well as some surprising twists as Tana and Jett work to rescue Robert and figure out what BODE is really up to. Readers will eagerly await the next installment.
A deliberately paced but shock-laden police thriller." --Kirkus Reviews
