Publisher's Synopsis
Unlock your inner Sherlock. It had been a long time since Mat Lawrence went to the city. Only something urgent could take him from his job deep in the desert managing construction of a mammoth power dam ... something as urgent and shocking as the grisly murder of his father. His father dying wasn't a complete surprise to him; the old man was a big - time gangster. Straight - laced and hard - working, Mat had wanted nothing to do with such vices. But he does share at least one family trait, a temper that propels him to exact revenge in the traditional family style. And so, with the ''help'' of his father's fast - talking criminal attorney, Mat goes after the culprits. But bullets, lies and bedlam follow when he finds himself neck - deep in trouble trying to single - handedly track down his father's killers and a million dollars gone missing. ALSO INCLUDES THE MYSTERY STORIES ''FLAME CITY'', ''CALLING SQUAD CARS'' AND ''THE GREASE SPOT''
