John Bekker returns in First Light to face the toughest challenge of his career. Hired by a man dying of cancer to locate the baby girl he gave up for adoption forty years ago, Bekker discovers the baby wasn't adopted but sold to a New York couple named Gertz. They named the child Sarah, and Sarah Gertz disappeared without a trace twelve years ago in Washington DC. Bekker uncovers evidence linking Sarah Gertz to the powerful Senator Oliver Koch, who is the next candidate for Vice-President. Twelve years ago, Koch and Sarah had an affair that left her pregnant. Bekker is convinced Koch had her murdered, but unless he can prove it, a murderer will be in the White House.
Al Lamanda, a native of New York, is the author of the novels Dunston Falls, Walking Homeless, Running Homeless, Sunset, Sunrise and First Light. He presently resides in Maine where he continues to write.

Wish the author could write faster!!
I have thoroughly enjoyed all 3 of the John Bekker mysteries. There is just one problem--I raced through this one just as I did the first 2 in the series and now I have to wait for the author to write a new one! I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good mystery with a wonderful main character surrounded by a fine cast of supporting players.

I can't stop reading. I love the John Bekker Series. They have me engrossed from the very first chapter. These should become movies. Please make a movie.

Can't allow myself to read another one
Books 1-3 in this series were interesting stories. But every other page.... coffee & cigarettes, cigarettes & coffee, coffee & cigarettes....and on and on. A pathetic and lazy way to fill pages. The author should be ashamed of himself.
