Aim for the Heart: Chris Klick Mysteries (Paperback)
Autor Wendell McCallen Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 sep 1999
Guns and greed lead to grief ... Chris Klick, a guy who traces missing musicians to give himself a trace of the good life, has kicked back to relax over a bird-watching, fly-fishing Idaho summer. Klick's buddy Lyel, a former pro basketball player, could get by clipping coupons. But he's a sucker for a story, and Klick's a sucker for a woman in distress. Together they succumb to Candy McGreggor and agree to find her missing sister, Roberta.
Roberta, an employee at the Butte Peak County Courthouse, seems to have triggered a string of disasters that began with a recent plane wreck and a dead pilot. Has she she just been unlucky, or has she been a player in some deadly game? And, it must be asked, has she gone off voluntarily, is she outrunning her creditors, or has she been abducted? If so, what's the payoff going to be?
Aim for the Heart is the second Chris Klick detection, following Dead Aim (1988, reprinted by Poisoned Pen Press). Klick and Lyel move to undercover work at Oxford University in Concerto in Dead Flat (Poisoned Pen Press, 1999).

Descriere
Chris Klick, a guy who traces missing musicians, is trying to kick back and relax over a bird-watching, fly-fishing Idaho summer. But the living is never easy, especially if your job skills attract trouble. Soon Klick and his buddy Lyel, a former pro basketball player, find themselves agreeing to look for a missing woman, in a chase more exciting than Klick's usual pursuits.
