About this ebook
Politics make strange bedfellows—and many dead men—in this hardboiled mystery featuring Miami's Mike Shayne, irresistible playboy and unstoppable PI.
Mike Shayne is leaving the sun and sand of Miami behind for the convoluted politics of Tallahassee. A bill to legalize gambling is on the table, and Shayne's been asked to testify against it, due to his experience investigating Las Vegas casinos. He has no idea that the odds are against him surviving the next twenty-four hours . . .
One kidnapping attempt later, and Shayne has the feeling that someone is trying to sideline him. There's a lot of money to be won or lost, depending on the outcome of the vote, and those on both sides of the gambling issue aren't going down without a fight, drawing Shayne into a violent eruption of bribery, blackmail, extortion, assault, arson, and murder. And for every desperate man in the mix, there's a woman willing to use her deadly wiles to draw Shayne in, and take him out . . .
