About the Author
R. J. Kaiser, a former practicing lawyer, is a keen student of the human condition. His previous novels, including Hoodwinked and Glamour Puss, reflect his sharp wit and unerring ability to portray ordinary people drawn into the chaos when life goes off the rails. R.J. lives in Northern California, where he is at work on his next novel.
Reviews
Five years after ex-cop Nick Sasso left San Francisco in disgrace, he has made a new start in New York as the proprietor of a popular restaurant. But his complacent life is shattered when his dying father asks him to come back to the West Coast to discover why his brother Joe is "borrowing" money from the family business. A reluctant Nick returns only to find his brother murdered during a clandestine meeting with his lawyer, Sonny Culp. Nick and unlikely ally Billie Fox, the cynical ex-wife of Joe's lawyer, search for the killer as well as the reasons behind the deaths. Kaiser injects new life into classic character cliches, such as the amiable assassin, the hooker with a heart of gold, the Asian femme fatale, and the lecherous Russian mobster, to create a thriller that careens on unpredictably until the last page. Mystery and suspense fans will be up all night with this quirky page-turner. Recommended for popular fiction collections. Michael Gannon
