"Hang on and let Shadow Investigation immerse you in Florida's crime scene-boats, drugs, and money...with some romance on the side. A 5-star, page-flipping, helluva read!" -Cam Torrens, author of Stable: Someone is Taking Them...

It's 1987-a dangerous period during America's War on Drugs, but DEA Special Agent Sam Dahl is comfortable- perhaps even a little bored-with his job seizing drug money from couriers passing through the daily hubbub of the LAX airport.

A friend begs Sam to find out what happened to her parents who disappeared while boating in the Gulf of Mexico. Although Sam possesses well-honed instincts and a keen eye for trouble, he knows nothing about missing-person cases. Eventually, Sam agrees to help and under the guise of taking a long overdue "vacation," he jumps on a flight to the Sunshine State. Soon, his real job and the personal favor to his friend meld into a single investigation. But Sam gets more than he bargained for when he falls for a beautiful woman, then battles a drug kingpin intent on destroying him. And, if Sam isn't careful, he could lose his livelihood and his life.

Christopher Amato, who spent a career as a federal agent, has written a fast-paced, high-stakes thriller that will be irresistible to readers, but will also stand up to the critical and discerning eye of law enforcement professionals.

Industry Reviews

"Hang on and let Shadow Investigation immerse you in Florida's crime scene-boats, drugs, and money...with some romance on the side. A 5-star, page-flipping, helluva read!" -Cam Torrens, author of Stable: Someone is Taking Them...

"There's a nail-biting thrill ride that positively prickles with danger and intrigue lying wait for you in the pages of this novel, with author Christopher Amato utilizing his years of real-world experience in law enforcement to breathe a refreshing level of realism into a genre that too often relies on the suspension of disbelief to work." -Readers' Favorite

"Christopher Amato has written a must-read thriller with razor-sharp dialogue and richly-drawn characters. I can see this book becoming a movie based on the action, excitement, danger, and romance, coupled with the characters' use of authentic investigative methods." -Gregory D. Lee, retired DEA Supervisory Special Agent and author of Global Drug Enforcement: Practical Investigative Techniques

"Move over, Jack Reacher. DEA agent Sam Dahl is coming to town. Shadow Investigation is a solid, seat-of-your-pants crime story, written with a legitimacy only possible from former law enforcement." -Brooke L. French, author of Inhuman Acts

"Amato's Shadow Investigation features crisp dialogue, insightful character development, and a fast-moving plot that never jumps the shark. A thoroughly-enjoyable crime thriller!" -Brian Kaufman, author of Sins in Blue

"Christopher Amato relies on his years of experience working as a federal agent to walk the reader through a fascinating and harrowing story about a DEA Agent who battles with a drug cartel, and in the process, finds himself fighting for his very life." -Ernie Dorling, author of The Truth is Always Negotiable

"As a favor to his sister, DEA Special Agent Sam Dahl flies his investigative skills to Florida, where he finds a little love, feels a lot of pain, and makes one awful "friend." Christopher Amato's book has the feel of a classic." -Gillespie Lamb, author of The Junkyard Dick

"When a DEA agent decides to trust his gut and take a chance on another case, he unlocks the truth about a world that would rather hide in the shadows of society. In Shadow Investigation, author Christopher Amato mixes suspense, intrigue, and a bit of romance to keep you hooked until the very last page." -Stephanie Letourneau, author of The Call of Uwyn
