This gripping mystery is now available on all major online publication platforms. Maggie, I Love You plunges readers into the life of Brent Stewart, a self-made millionaire and seasoned private investigator. Brent's world is turned upside down when Alex Lomax, an old army buddy from their time serving together in Vietnam, reaches out for help. Alex’s wife, Maggie Chong, has vanished without a trace, leaving Alex distraught and fearing the worst. Brent, bound by loyalty and a deep-seated sense of responsibility, immediately agrees to take the case, unaware of the complex and perilous journey that lies ahead.
Higgins masterfully weaves a narrative rich in character development and unexpected twists. Brent Stewart is more than just a detective; he's a complex character with a past, a sense of humor, and a deep capacity for caring. His experiences in Vietnam, his rise to wealth, and his personal struggles all contribute to his determination to find Maggie and uncover the truth, no matter the cost. As Brent delves into Maggie’s disappearance, he unearths a series of unsettling clues. A seemingly innocuous note left for Alex, a break-in at their apartment where only photos were stolen, and the discovery of a murdered informant with Maggie’s picture in his pocket all point to a much larger and more sinister plot.
The investigation takes Brent through the vibrant and sometimes dangerous underbelly of New York City, from the familiar streets of Chinatown to the shadowy corners of the city's elite. He encounters a colorful cast of characters, including Suzy, a close friend of Maggie and Alex, and Lily, a cab driver with ties to the city’s criminal element. Each encounter brings Brent closer to the truth, but also deeper into a web of deceit and danger. As the stakes rise, Brent finds himself facing not only the challenge of finding Maggie, but also the threat of those who want the truth to remain hidden.
