A Gene Hammons novel
|
| Summary |
"1936 Phoenix: Business has never been better for private investigator Gene Hammons in this young city of big ambitions and even bigger corruption. But when smuggled gold, kidnapping, blackmail, and a brutal murder intrude upon "Happy Days are Here Again," Hammons is drawn into a race to find answers before a killer claims another victim. It won't be easy. A crime syndicate, J. Edgar Hoover, a wealthy family from back East, a wily stalker, and his former employer-the Phoenix Police Department-all want something from Hammons. His capable-but-drug-addicted brother, still a detective, is as much a hindrance as a help. Luckily, Hammons finds a professional ally in Pamela Bradbury, a fellow gumshoe. As they work the cases together, they can't help but worry that the crimes are somehow connected, and that time is not the only nemesis threatening their investigations"-- Provided by publisher. |
