"I highly recommend this book and will certainly be buying number 2 in the series." - Ken

It's almost midnight, bitterly cold, snowing, when a beautiful young girl, Tabitha Willard, throws herself off the Walnut Street Bridge into the icy waters of the Tennessee. Harry Starke is there, on the bridge. Wrong time, wrong place? Maybe. He tries, but is unable to stop her.

Thus begins a series of events and an investigation that involves a local United States congressman, a senior lady senator from Boston, a local crime boss, several very nasty individuals, sex, extortion, high finance, corruption, and three murders. Harry has to work his way through a web of deceit and corruption until finally.... Well, as always, there's a twist in the tale, several in fact.

Who is Harry Starke?

Harry Starke is a private detective, a big fish in a small pond. He's a tough individual with a past, a conscience, and friends in high places. He’s single, successful, wealthy, a womanizer, well educated, and he will hurt you if he needs to. This book is the first in the series of Harry Starke novels.

"If you like books by Mickey Spillane you'll like Harry Starke - a modern day Mike Hammer, with the same no holds barred solutions to solving crimes. He loves his gun and a good woman - or sometimes bad! What makes this different is the setting - in downtown Chattagnooga, which is a refreshing change to the Big Apple." - Sassy Lou
