"Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini Pete Schofield had been to art-colony parties before. Usually they were all the same, but this one had an added kick. A giant punchbowl, filled to the rim with champagne, and spiked with the barest, most beautiful mermaid he'd ever seen. He was enjoying every inch of it. So was everyone else, until some joker decided to plunge into the act. That's when the lights went out, the lady disappeared, and Pete got hot as a pistol!
"Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini "A neatly contrived and lively mixture of fast action and sex!" -- The New York Times Doll Baby just sat there, blinking her long black lashes and drawing on her long white cigarette. "You've got to help me, Petey Boy," she said. "They're after me. Two of 'em." If someone had to be tailed, Doll Baby sure made a likely target. But something else about this case didn't stack up. And it wasn't Doll Baby. She was doing just fine...
"Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini Pete thought he had it made. A cool half-grand, plus expenses, just to deliver Uncle Pierce Bonwell's bright-eyed and burstin' niece, Honeylou, to her Aunt Cindy -- in one piece. But Pete learned the hard way that Uncle Pierce wasn't giving money away. The cost of kidnapping and murder runs pretty high!
Carol Ann was very photogenic. Especially in certain pictures... But it was more than just a case of over-exposure. There was also a small matter of murder.

Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini
Her name was Shaara, and she was built like a technicolor dream. From tip to toe ... from back to front ... the lady was intricately tattooed. The designs intrigued Pete Schofield, and so did the background ... until he saw that thinking along her lines could get him killed. Because someone had designs on her -- and not all the reasons were obvious! "Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini Someone had designs on her ... and not all the reasons were obvious! It's up to Pete Schofield to keep her safe...and Nevada may never be the same!
The girl had lost her guitar-playing boyfriend, but he had left her the most deadly legacy of all -- fear. And now it was up to me to protect her from the gun-carrying thugs who were relentlessly tracking her down. Hoodlums, hootenannies, and homicide! #10 in the Mac detective series! "Mac is one of our best private eyes." -- San Francisco Chronicle "Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction's severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini "Mac has been called one of the most believable and humane PI's in crime fiction. He is reluctant to use either his gun or his fists, but will do so when the situation demands it, or in self-defense; he doesn't merely solve his clients' cases, but provides moral support and sympathy as well; and perhaps most notable of all, Mac feels, and is not afraid to show itópain, loss, sorrow, loneliness." --thrillingdetective.com
