Sobre aquest llibre
Nick Polo, the private detective whom readers last met in Polo's Ponies, has stooped to bodyguard work. Well, why not? All he has to do is "slosh around Pebble Beach a few hours and have the evenings to himself." He's guarding a writer named Jack Slate in Carmel-by-the-Sea, where Slate plans to play in, and Nick plans to watch, a big golf tournament.
Slate has been receiving death threats. He is an investigative journalist, and right now he is onto something very hot indeed.
Then Slate, and a stranger later identified as an FBI agent, die in the decidedly accidental crash of a small plane they had somewhat inexplicably taken up.
Far from being over, Polo's job just begins with Slate's death. Slate's lawyer, who had hired Polo in the first place, wants Nick to get hold of the dead man's explosive manuscript before anyone else can. One delightful obstacle to Polo's try is a beautiful young woman named Vanilla.

Sobre l'autor
Jerry Kennealy has worked as a police officer, as well as a licensed private investigator, adding great authenticity to his novels. Besides the Polo mysteries, two of which have been nominated for Shamus Awards, he's written several non-series thrillers lately. He's a member of the Mystery Writers of America and the Private Eye Writers of America. Praise for Jerry Kennealy "Kennealy infuses even high-stakes moments with a sense of light-hearted fun, and the plot is trickier to puzzle out than one might expect." —Publishers Weekly on Jigsaw "It's fun to see Carroll squeezed between two cops who like him for two different crimes, and there's lots of trivia for Hitchcock buffs." —Kirkus Reviews on Jigsaw "As always, Kennealy delivers hard-boiled excitement nicely dressed with humor and style." —Booklist on All That Glitters "Kennealy keeps a firm grip on his readers with a smart pace and a light, intelligent tone that's never cute. We're also treated to intriguing lore about investigating procedures in the electronic age, scenic and historic bits, and a lively background romance." —Publishers Weekly on Beggar's Choice "I can't wait 'til Kennealy's next novel hits the bookstores." —San Francisco Examiner "A winner full of gritty policework and international intrigue. Kennealy makes San Francisco one of his main characters. His other characters ring true partly because of the realistic dialogue." —San Francisco Examiner (The Conductor) "Enjoyable... action-filled." —Publishers Weekly (The Conductor) "Kennealy's characters, combined with his seasoned ability to weave several plot elements into a smooth whole... stand out in the thriller genre." —Publishers Weekly (The Suspect) "A crime thriller that has prize winner written all over it. Enthralling." —Harriet Klausner (The Suspect) “GRITTY.” —San Francisco Examiner (The Other Eye) “ACTION-FILLED.” —Publishers Weekly (The Other Eye)
