The Night Watchman by Mark MynheirPublisher: Multnomah
About the book: Ray Quinn is a tough, quick-witted homicide detective in love with his partner, Trisha Willis. She gives Ray something to live for—something to hope in. Until a barrage of bullets leaves Trisha murdered and Ray crippled.
Struggling with his new physical disability and severe depression, Quinn turns to whiskey, scorn, and a job as a night watchman to numb the pain. But when a pastor and dancer are found dead in an apparent murder-suicide, the pastor’s sister approaches Quinn for help.
Reluctantly, Quinn takes the case and is plunged into the perilous Orlando. Soon he discovers that, not only was the pastor murdered, but the case may be linked to his and Trisha’s ambush. Torn between seeking revenge or responsibility, Quinn is thrust into the case of his life.

- Pretty simple - Just tell me whether or not you have ever been a night watchman or security guard. I actually was one in San Diego at a car repo lot - it could get pretty scary at night coming in and out of the building - I was doing it for extra money, and didn't do it for long. . . It was cool to have the security guard uniform though!
