_The First Rule_, Robert Crais
The PI's nearly silent partner is again the protagonist. The client and his family are completely trustworthy -- nearly everyone else is slippery. The plot was pretty much a straight forward drive, with a minimum of character building and a fair number of tense and violent situations. Despite several million dollars in cash changing hands, there is no payoff for the PI or his partner. How do these people pay their bills?
