Synopsis
Quitman O'Neil sells used cars, and he's good at it: he understands his customers and he understands his life. His motto has always been "Live and let live," but lately he's finding himself in a world where only fools and dead men feel the same way.
The source of all his problems is a coin - not just any old coin, but the 64 D silver dollar. It has existed in collectors' circles only as a rumor, since the whole run was supposed to be melted down before it left the Denver mint. This one survived. With no idea of its worth, Quitman has filched the coin from his lover's desk simply because it was minted in the year of his birth. Now he's paying dearly.
Quitman's idle queries about the coin bring forth the attentions of single-minded collector Henry Lyman and his ruthless hired gun, Lester VanDyk. And then, when one of Quitman's colleagues is killed, the cops come down hard as well. With no one to turn to, the amiable young salesman must reach deep within himself to find the strength and determination to clear his name and escape from a world he never knew existed.

About the Author
Joseph Valentinetti is a teacher at the University of Minnesota and Metropolitan State University.
From Publishers Weekly
A California used-car salesman and an obsessive pursuit of a rare coin combine in this lively debut from an author who is a private investigator in California. When Quitman O'Neil, not usually given to theft, idly pockets a silver dollar, dated 1964, the year of his birth, at the home of one of his casual girlfriends, he sets off a grizzly chain of events. Curious, he stops in at a coin shop near the showroom; his questions alert the dealer, who in turn speaks to an unscrupulous collector. Soon, Quitman's auto-sales partner is brutally murdered. As Quitman tries to help the police find the killer, another murder occurs. Learning that the killer will be after him next, Quitman decides to exact revenge himself. Valentinetti's spare, noir-edged style and clipped pace will keep readers turning the pages, and after the satisfying resolution, eager to deal with Quitman again.
