- Synopsis
- 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 . . . &“The hard-drinking, hard-fisted, quick-thinking private eye!&” —Dayton Journal-Herald
