Synopsis
Jacob Asch is called in by boxing promoter Jack Schwartz to help out Carlos Realango, an Argentine heavyweight whose career is on the skids. Carlos has been receiving threatening phone calls, and his manager and mistress, brassy blonde Susan Mezzano, thinks her husband is responsible. It seems a routine case until the down-and-out boxer is shot at Moonfire Ranch, a fancy brothel owned by Susan's husband. The police are calling it justifiable homicide, but Asch smells murder and something more than a lovers' quarrel.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First British Edition. Except for the inevitable age-darkening to paper, the book is like new condition. The dust jacket unfortunately has had a few pen markings on the rear panel covered up in an amateurish way with some white-out. Otherwise the jacket would be fine, with no chips or tears and not price-clipped. Neatly signed by the author on title page in black ink. The dust jacket features a completely different cover than the American edition. The British edition shoes a photo of boxing gloves with a waded up dollar bill and some bullets. Signed by Author(s).
