Hoping to enjoy his night off, Detective Allan Connell sits down next to a misty-eyed bunny in a quiet bar for a drink or two... and the next thing he knows, a local gambling tycoon's lawyer falls dead at his feet! The cause of death: a rare and powerful poison. The lawyer's widow greets the news of her husband's death with bored indifference. His mistress greets Connell with an invitation for some squeaky-clean fun. And then, the killer strikes again, and suddenly unorthodox police detective Allan Connell is up against an explosive mix of hot-shot lawyers, hot-headed mobsters, and a hot-blooded redhead in a case where everyone has a motive, everyone's a suspect, everyone has something to hide – and almost everyone wants him dead!

The second book in the "Allan Connell" series, now back in print in a perfect-bound 5.5x8.5 trade-paperback format with artwork by Bernard Doove, Michael Peña, Jeff Pierce, and an all-new cover by Tanamin Wingate!  [Mature Audiences]
