"Call me Mac... I''m just a guy. I go around and get in jams and then try to figure a way out of them. I don''t make very much money and most people insult me one way or another... I''m a fairly good shot with small arms, show-thinking but thorough, and very dirty in a clinch."

Mac gets into a jam this time even when he turns a job down. And all because of a book, an ex-gangster''s patrician wife, and a red-headed cabaret doll. When all the blood is washed off and the smoke clears away, Mac has a murderer pinned down -- but he doesn''t earn much more than a reputation as the most indestrictible man in the business.

"Thomas B. Dewey is one of detective fiction''s severely underrated writers!" -- Bill Pronzini

"Mac has been called one of the most believable and humane PI''s in crime fiction. He is reluctant to use either his gun or his fists, but will do so when the situation demands it, or in self-defense; he doesn''t merely solve his clients'' cases, but provides moral support and sympathy as well; and perhaps most notable of all, Mac feels, and is not afraid to show itópain, loss, sorrow, loneliness." --thrillingdetective.com

In his second adventure, Mac is hired to tail a mother and her two kids on the train from Chicago to Los Angeles. All is going well until he is thrown off of the train -- while it''s moving at high speed!"Mac has been called one of the most believable and humane PI''s in crime fiction.

The naked lady was very beautiful and very dead. The police found that she had circled Mac''s name in her phone book -- yet Mac couldn''t remember her! What''s a poor investigator to do -- but investigate?

"A solidly satisfactory story -- fast, believable, well-characterized, a nice balance of restraint and overt violence." -- The New York Times

"Gripping, realistic, and compelling." -- Chicago Sunday Tribune

It started with murder and ended with murder. Along the way there were muggings and dope and stolen cars and other assorted violences that might have been committed by juveniles. But this wasn''t kid stuff. It became apparent that someone very ruthless was behind it all. That''s when they decided to hire Mac.

P.I.s are not easily surprised, but Mac was surprised. The girl was too lovely, the price she was willing to pay too high, and her story didn''t ring true. But she was badly frightened, so Mac, ever the gentleman, agreed to take the case.

"More than one rub-out for private eye Mac to run through when a man with a well-minked wife is shot down by a police sergeant from Steel City, outside of Chicago. Exit also for an attorney, a safecracker and assorted others who are linked to the importance of teenage Marianne, the rehabilitation project of moneyman Lloyd, and a series of black-mailing pictures. Scrappy all the way." -- Kirkus Reviews

Pete Schofield tangles with marijuana and murder in a sizzling case that''s almost too hot to handle!

Pete thought he had it made. A cool half-grand, plus expenses, just to deliver Uncle Pierce Bonwell''s bright-eyed and burstin'' niece, Honeylou, to her Aunt Cindy -- in one piece. But Pete learned the hard way that Uncle Pierce wasn''t giving money away. The cost of kidnapping and murder runs pretty high!

"A neatly contrived and lively mixture of fast action and sex!" -- The New York Times

Doll Baby just sat there, blinking her long black lashes and drawing on her long white cigarette. "You''ve got to help me, Petey Boy," she said. "They''re after me. Two of ''em."

If someone had to be tailed, Doll Baby sure made a likely target. But something else about this case didn''t stack up. And it wasn''t Doll Baby. She was doing just fine...

Pete Schofield had been to art-colony parties before. Usually they were all the same, but this one had an added kick. A giant punchbowl, filled to the rim with champagne, and spiked with the barest, most beautiful mermaid he''d ever seen. He was enjoying every inch of it. So was everyone else, until some joker decided to plunge into the act. That''s when the lights went out, the lady disappeared, and Pete got hot as a pistol!

Someone had designs on her ... and not all the reasons were obvious! It''s up to Pete Schofield to keep her safe...and Nevada may never be the same!
