Publisher's Synopsis
New York, 1960, and an innocent conversation in a coffee house leads PI Bobby Olsen into the nasty world of illegal immigrants trucked up from Mexico. Within days two bodies are in the morgue and Carol, Bobby's sidekick in business and life, is on a mission to bring the perpetrators to justice. A trail around clubs, bars and diners in the seedier side of the Apple leads to a car trek down south, a near fatal shootout with Tennessee cops, and Bobby getting the feeling someone's leading him a not very merry dance. Throw into the equation a librarian with a drug habit, a Southern belle led astray by a loquacious business guy, and a Canadian PI who shoots first then asks questions, and the mystery threatens to run Bobby and Carol ragged. A murder close to home then seems to put a deadly period in the case's final report.Has Bobby stepped into the city's mire too deep this time? Has Carol's desire to get payback taken them both into dangerous streets with no exit? And is revenge always sweet?
