Back cover blurb:
A loner, trying to forget. A community -- and a woman -- who need for him to remember . . . Broken relationships and unfulfilled promises scatter themselves across Wayne's past like burned-out craters. His background in military special-ops is something he's trying to forget. But when he gets himself sweet-talked into helping a quirky group of seniors who've been scammed, he discovers it will take a lot more than muscle and nerve.
Breach a conman's high-security estate to recover stolen money? No problem. Become part of community? Love again? Not on your life. A lawyer with her own painful past is intrigued by Wayne and asks him to take on another unusual case -- Tatanya's wealthy employer believes he's been visited by . . . an angel? Did a messenger from God in a pinstripe suit truly bring a divine warning, or is this merely another cruel hoax? Tatanya is willing to trust Wayne with her boss's life, but she's not sure she's ready to trust him with her own wounded heart. With a financial analyst's skills and a warrior's tenacity, Wayne races to unmask dangerous forces hiding behind a corporate veil. But he will need all his resources -- and then some -- against an unseen enemy bent on destroying his fragile bid for a second chance at life...and love. All he wanted was to put his past behind him. But now it's the only thing that will save them. . .

I really wanted to like this book, but between the disjointed feel of it and the overuse of the "outcast" factor, I never got attached to the story.

This is another wonderful Davis Bunn book. It's filled with intrigue, murder, corporate buy-out, a group of retirees, a worn-out soldier who has no place to call his own, a beautiful Russian woman & an old lady who knows how to pray & get answers. I highly recommend it.

Enjoyed this book with the twists of plot and the hints that come together as you read. I'm not usually a mystery fan but I'll read more from this author.
