Wow, another excellent book in this series. I love the characters and the storyline. My only complaint is that I can't stay up long enough to read it all in one night. Can't wait for the next book.

They Came for Him

A mystery thriller from USA Today Bestselling Author, P.D. Workman that will keep you turning the pages!

There’s been some trouble

That was the understatement of the year. A call from private investigator Zachary Goldman’s older sister puts him on to a murder case, but this time he is trying to help the murderer rather than tracking him down.

From the beginning, Zachary has his own ideas of what happened and is confident that he can gather enough evidence and background information to prove that Luke is not guilty of murder. But Luke is not contributing to his own defense and the facts that Zachary uncovers are not what he was expecting.

Zachary begins to doubt whether he knows the real story after all.

But he is not giving up.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This highly suspenseful tale took me on a roller coaster ride of emotion as I feverishly flipped the pages navigating the plentiful twists and turns in hopeful anticipation of Luke being exonerated. P.D. Workman has once again worked her literary magic to produce another story filled with traumatized “imperfect” people facing daunting challenges and somehow managing to survive, prevail and inspire. 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ P.D. Workman expertly weaves her way to the centre of a psychological thriller, combined with fascinating characters and events that will grip you firmly by the imagination throughout, in They Came For Him. Make sure you get it today!

Zachary Goldman, Private Investigator, is flawed with a capital F. Shattered by the tragedies of his own life, he will somehow still manage to pick himself up and dig just a little bit deeper than anyone else to piece together the vital clues and solve the mystery.

Maybe being broken makes it easier for others who have faced tragedy to trust him. Walk with Zachary as he solves cases that will stretch his abilities to the limit.

Even with his own life in shambles, Zachary Goldman is still the one you want on the case.

Looking for a thriller that will keep you up all night and stay with you long after the last page?

— I love the way the investigation plays out…very interesting.  That is done very well. It held my interest. I very much wanted to find out the outcome…

— Very well written. [Zachary] is flawed with a capital F … In spite of his problems, he is a very sympathetic character and doggedly pursues the truth.

— [She Wore Mourning] made for a pleasant read while presenting an interesting story.

— What a great story. Fabulous plot with interesting and complex characters. I was totally involved into the wee hours. Many twists and left waiting until the end. Highly recommended

— Wow! I just finished it. In one day! I could not stop reading it! This book grabs hold of you from the start. It’s a very well written detective novel. It pulls you not the story and is very emotional. You feel for the characters. This is the first novel I have read by this author but it will not be my last. I highly recommend this book.

Author Notes may contain spoilers!

I already knew at the end of She Told a Lie that Luke would be getting in trouble again. That’s the reality. As a long-term addict buried as deep in the trafficking business as he was, he had little chance of getting clean and out of it.

He’s been working hard at it. He’s been through rehab. He’s got Joss, who is as experienced as they get, working in his corner. But I had little doubt that at some point, he would step over the line. And there have been hints at that in the last few books.

You may wonder why Zachary puts up with Joss’s angry and bitter attitude toward him. Of course he feels guilty for what she has gone through, believing that she would not have been trafficked if she hadn’t been put into foster care when he burned the house down. But there’s more to it than that. Even with Joss’s angry jabs, she and Zachary are bonded with each other, she helped to care for him when no one else did, and she is more of a mother figure than his own long-lost mother. There is a special close relationship between them, no matter how angry and irritable Joss acts.

In this book, maybe you will see a little bit of that and Joss’s well-hidden softer side.

“Every single one of [P.D. Workman’s] books has spoken to me … And I have found strength in the books I’ve read.”

“This is one author I certainly will be looking out for, I can’t recommend her enough.”

“I’ll read anything by P. D. Workman that I can get my hands on.”

“Every book by PD Workman that I’ve read has been a gripping one, however different the genres are, going from lighter mysteries to really dark ones… this is one of my favourite, most dependable authors.”

“P.D. Workman is an incredibly versatile writer. No matter which of her books I read I am drawn into a great story and honestly, I don’t think I’ve followed another author that could go from cozy mystery to YA to a PI series dealing with mental health issues. Really enjoy her books!”

“[P.D. Workman’s] stories are so believable and you can’t help but feel like you know these people. You find yourself crying, laughing and feeling the characters emotions. Now if an author can make you cry and feel every emotion in a story, she is one hell of an author.”

“P. D. Workman, does not shy from probing the deep psychological scars of childhood trauma, mental illness, and addiction. Also characteristic of this author, these extremely sensitive issues are explored with extensive empathy, described with incredible clarity, and portrayed with profound insight.”

“Once again P.D.Workman has created an intense psychological mystery that impacts a wallop of thought induction. The writing is so well developed and draws you into the characters story.”
